Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoon canola oil or olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon regular salt

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 pound fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise, or tiny new red or white potatoes, halved

  • 4 small skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 to 1 1/4 pounds total)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced

  • Snipped fresh thyme (optional)

Directions

  1. In a very large skillet heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium heat. Stir 1/2 teaspoon of the dried thyme, the salt, and pepper into oil. Add potatoes; toss to coat. Cover and cook for 12 minutes, stirring twice.

  2. Stir potatoes; push to one side of skillet. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the other side of skillet. Arrange chicken in skillet alongside the potatoes. Cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes.

  3. Turn chicken. Sprinkle garlic and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme over chicken. Arrange lemon slices on top of chicken. Cover and cook for 7 to 10 minutes more or until chicken is no longer pink (170°F) and potatoes are tender. If desired, sprinkle with snipped fresh thyme.
