- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Step 1 – Start by boiling the chopped potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Step 2 – While the potatoes are cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
