– 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 1 pound baby potatoes, halved

– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

To make Garlic Butter Chicken and Potatoes Skillet, follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary on both sides.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
4. Cook the Potatoes: In the same skillet, add the halved baby potatoes. Cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
5. Add Garlic: Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the empty side. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Combine: Return the cooked chicken thighs to the skillet. Stir everything together to coat with the garlic butter.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors together.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
9. Serves: Plate the chicken and potatoes, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
