Wash the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly and cut them into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin on.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the potatoes and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and slightly tender.
Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the potatoes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the potatoes are fully tender.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let it rest, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your Chicken and Potato Saute!
