Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a medium pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min. Drain potatoes in a colander.
Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 1/2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then swirl the pot until melted.Add chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, 3-4 min.
