Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a medium pot (use same for 4 ppl).

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 1/2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then swirl the pot until melted.Add chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, 3-4 min.
