Boil a kettle, then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Peel your potatoes and chop them into small bite-sized pieces

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12-15 min or until fork-tender

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
