Recipe Notes

If the potatoes are not tender after cooking on the stove top, you can roast in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 425F.

1/4 teaspoon salt
3 dashes Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, roughly chopped, optional
1 tablespoon olive oil

Yes, because you cook the potatoes first and then you cook the chicken. :)

Ok thanks, I just realised the 3rd Tablespoon of oil was fr the marinade :)

Just made this! It was delicious!! I used chicken breasts and I had to cook them a little longer since they were thick. But the potatoes came out amazing and the chicken was delicious!
Thank you so much!
