Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.

While potatoes cook, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt 25g of butter over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside. Add the remaining 25g of butter to the same skillet. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
