    Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Cut them into chunks and place them into a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes until fork-tender.

    While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cube the chicken breast and season with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Once done, remove from skillet and set aside.

    In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
