Ingredients
  

  • 4 teaspoons canola or olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 2 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, halved crosswise
  • 1 lemon thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat 3 teaspoons of the oil over medium. Stir in garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the rosemary and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Add potatoes; toss to coat. Cook, covered, 5 minutes (do not stir).

If desired, sprinkle with additional rosemary.
