Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups water
1 pound small new potatoes
8 ounces fresh pearl onions, blanched and peeled, or frozen pearl onions, thawed
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Directions

1. Combine salt, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, and oregano in small bowl; sprinkle evenly over both sides of chicken.

2. Combine water, potatoes, and onions in large nonstick skillet; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and boil 12 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when pierced with fork. Drain well.

3. Add 1 tablespoon oil to same skillet; heat over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken; cook 4 minutes and turn. Add potatoes and onions; drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cover and cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in center and onions are slightly browned, stirring occasionally. Let stand 3 minutes before serving.

Note: Always use tongs to turn chicken pieces over during cooking. This prevents the surface from being pierced, keeping the natural juices sealed inside.

Yield: 4 servings. Serving size: 1 chicken breast and 1 cup potatoes and onions.
