What to Eat with Garlic Butter Chicken and Potatoes Skillet ??

I like to have this dish with a simple green salad as a side dish, and sometimes my mom likes to have it with warm bread or garlic toast. She says this bread absorbs the extra garlic butter sauce, and sometimes we enjoy it straight with some cold beverages like juice or a cold drink to add a special flavor.
