Spicy Chicken and Potatoes

I came up with this recipe one night for my husband. I didn't want to have to run to the store for ingredients, and I already had all the things I needed in my fridge or pantry. It takes some time to cook, but it is SO easy to make.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  large boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut in half)
• 5 -6  medium potatoes (cut in 1/2 thick slices, then halved)
• 1  large onion (chopped)
• 2  garlic cloves (pressed)
• 4  cups  chicken stock
• 2  cups white wine (water can be used instead)
• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 1⁄4 cup butter
• 1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper (for the chicken rub)
• 1  teaspoon onion powder
• 1  teaspoon  garlic salt
• 1⁄4-1⁄2 teaspoon  of cheyenne pepper
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
•  salt

Directions

1. Clean chicken of any excess fat and rub with 1/8 teaspoon black pepper and a pinch of salt. Heat olive oil on high in a large skillet and fry both sides of chicken until golden brown. Remove chicken from pan.
2. Melt the butter on medium high in the same pan and saute the onion until translucent. Add garlic and continue cooking for another minute or two. Toss in potatoes and cook covered on medium high until most of the butter is absorbed, about ten minutes.
3. Pour in chicken stock and white wine being sure to scrape the bottom of the pan. Put the chicken back in and shuffle contents so the chicken rests on the bottom.
4. Sprinkle the mixture with half of the onion powder, half of the garlic salt, half of the cheyenne pepper and half of the black pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium low and simmer covered for 15 minutes stirring occasionally.
5. After 15 minutes flip chicken and sprinkle with remaining seasonings and salt to taste. Recover and continue cooking until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Add extra chicken stock or water if needed.
6. Serve by itself or with a green salad.
