ONE-PAN POTATOES AND CHICKEN

4 servings

Prep:  10 min. Cook: 20 min.

2 tbsp vegetable oil

8 medium red potatoes, thinly sliced

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into thin strips

1 medium red bell pepper, cut into thin strips

1 tsp garlic salt

Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Add potatoes, chicken and bell pepper to skillet.  Sprinkle with garlic salt.  Cook 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink in center and potatoes are tender.  Let your imagination run wild by trying different potatoes for new flavors and colors.  Choose Yukon gold, purple, yellow Finnish or Texas finger potatoes.  Sprinkle this dish with sliced green onion to add a little color.  Chopped fresh basil or parsley would also add great eye and flavor appeal.
