Instructions

  • To make the potatoes-boil a large pot of water and salt well. Boil potatoes until they are fork tender. Drain the water and return potatoes to the pot. Stir in butter, shallot, and parsley. Stir well. Set aside and keep warm until serving.
  • Grill the chicken and brush each piece liberally with bbq sauce. Cut into strips and set aside.
