Directions
Step 1 -In a large resealable bag or in a large bowl, add the chicken, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.

Step 3 -Over medium-low heat, heat a cast-iron skillet.
Step 4 -Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and butter to the hot skillet.
Step 5 -Add the garlic, potatoes, and rosemary to the skillet and cook until the outside of the potatoes are golden brown and the insides are cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
Step 6 -Transfer the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
Step 7 -In the same skillet on medium heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 8 -Cook the chicken on each side until cooked through (reading 165 degrees F in the center with a meat thermometer), about 4-5 minutes.
Step 9 -Move the chicken to one side of the skillet and add back the potatoes to the other side.
Step 10 -Season with salt to taste.
Step 11 -After the potatoes are fully heated, remove from heat and serve immediately.
