EASY ITALIAN CHICKEN & FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Note: If you are looking for a good homemade Italian recipe, check out my Colorful Party Pasta Salad Recipe. I include a homemade Italian Dressing within that recipe & it's delicious! Any Italian dressing will do, use your favorite! Try different varieties!
• 2. Remove any excess fat from chicken & rinse chicken in cold water, pat dry. Place in a large glass bowl, pour dressing over chicken just until thoroughly covered. Turn chicken to be sure to get both sides. Cover & allow to marinade for at least 30 minutes.
• 3. In the meantime, prepare potatoes. Clean potatoes, & cut in one inch wedges, leaving skin intact. (Need those awesome vitamins!!) Add olive oil to large skillet & heat over medium high heat. Add potatoes. Cook for 15 minutes, turning frequently to brown on all sides.
• 4. When potatoes are halfway done, add Italian dressing, minced garlic, onions, & your fresh herbs. Add salt & pepper to taste. Continue to cook over medium heat, turning frequently. I cover during this process to help the potatoes cook all the way through. Continue to cook until potatoes are cooked all the way through.
• 5. While the potatoes are cooking, heat EVOO on medium heat in another large skillet. Add chicken, marinade, & minced garlic. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Cook 5-7 minutes each side depending on thickness of breast. Add fresh herbs the last couple minutes. I used fresh rosemary in this dish.
• 6. Top with optional parmesan cheese just before serving! This dish goes very well with candied carrots as a side dish. Mmm good!! This is one meal I never have left over of! Sometimes I wish I did just so I wouldn't have to cook!

• 3. These potatoes make an excellent side dish at dinner time or at breakfast time with eggs and your favorite breakfast meat or you can smother them in gravy. So much faster and easier and no matter how you serve them, these potatoes are scrumptious! You could also add onion, seasoned salt, green peppers or anything else that you like.

EASY PAN FRIED POTATOES, SHALLOTS WITH PARSLEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Potatoes -- Add the potatoes to a bowl or I prefer using a pie plate and add just a tablespoon or so of water and cover with plastic wrap. Now microwave. I like to start at 5 minutes and then check. You want them slightly tender but still firm and not falling apart - remember you are going to finish then in the pan. Once they are done, just remove from the microwave and drain well, you don't want water to hit a hot pan.
• Pan Fry -- Add the shallot and garlic to a medium saute pan with 1 tablespoon of the butter on medium heat and cook 2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high to high and add the other tablespoon of butter, potatoes and parsley. I like to let them set for a couple of minutes to brown on the bottom before flipping and stirring breaking them up slightly and then again a couple of minutes on the other side before I stir or flip and again breaking them up a bit. They will start to break apart which is fine. Then add the scallions, salt and pepper and serve.

• Arrange potatoes in a single layer on baking sheets, so that they do not touch or overlap. Sprinkle generously with Old Bay seasoning, to your taste.
• Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 40 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and tender. Drain on paper towels.
