    What to serve with chicken and potatoes recipe?

    This is quite a filling meal on its own and sides are not really necessary but you can serve it with bread like dinner rolls, breadsticks or garlic bread.

    Salads pair perfectly too. Try this Strawberry Spinach Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing Salad (One Bowl) or Broccoli Salad Recipe (One Bowl), or Cucumber Tomato Salad (One Bowl).

    Variations

    Chicken and sweet potatoes- Simply switch out the white potatoes for sweet ones.

    Roasted /Oven baked chicken and potatoes- Place the cubed potatoes on a sheet pan (oiled and seasoned). Place seasoned and lightly oiled chicken on top of the potatoes. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes until chicken is no longer pink and potatoes are fork tender.

    Chicken and mashed potatoes- Serve these Creamy Mashed Potatoes Recipe (One Pot) with the chicken, and omit the potatoes.

    Use a different cut of chicken- Try chicken thighs, legs, or wings. just note they will have different cook times,

    Add green beans- Add green beans with the potatoes for extra heartiness.

    Make it spicy- Add red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, or even jalapeno slices for some heat.

    Vary the seasoning- Try Greek, Mexican, or Cajun seasonings instead of Italian for a different flavor profile.

    Make it creamy- Add ½ cup of heavy cream or half and half for a creamy version.

    Add cheese- Top with fresh grated parmesan, shredded mozzarella, or your favorite cheese, prior to serving.

    Garnish- With finely chopped fresh parsley, dill, basil, or cilantro.

    Tips and Techniques

    Adjust seasoning- Add more or less according to your personal preference.

    Use high quality olive oil- The higher the quality the better the flavor.

    Use a non-stick pot- To prevent the potatoes and chicken from sticking and burning.

    Cut potatoes into uniform 1 inch cubes- This allows them to cook evenly, for the same amount of time.

    What kind of chicken to use? I used two large chicken breasts and then cut them in half lengthwise. You can use whatever cut you prefer, but the cooking times will vary.

    Coconut is optional- It adds a little crunch and sweetness so I enjoy adding it!
