  1. Place the halved potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with about 30 mL (2 tbsp) water.

  6. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  7. Add the potatoes to the same skillet, cut-side down where possible.
  8. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
  9. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
  10. Add the butter and garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
  11. Return the chicken to the skillet.
  12. Toss the chicken and potatoes in the garlic butter and cook for another 2 minutes.
