Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.Wash and dry all produce.Remove 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter from the fridge and set aside to come up to room temperature. Slice potatoes into 1/4-inch coins.Add potatoes, 1 tsp (2 tsp) Southwest Spice Blend, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the bottom of the oven, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden-brown, 20-22 min.

Meanwhile, drain pickles. Pat dry with paper towels.Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.While the pan heats, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Add chicken and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, remaining Southwest Spice Blend, then cornstarch. Flip to coat.
