Place the potatoes in a small pot and cover with the water and one third of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 12 minutes.
While the potatoes simmer, pound the chicken breast to a uniform 3/4-inch thickness if needed. Season on both sides with the black pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, and one third of the salt, pressing the spices firmly onto the meat.
Add the minced garlic to the boiling pot with the potatoes and simmer for 3 minutes more until the potatoes are very tender and the garlic is softened.
Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook for 5 to 6 minutes more until the center is opaque. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Drain the potatoes and garlic and return them to the pot. Add the milk, butter, and the remaining salt. Mash until smooth, then stir in the chives.
Let the chicken rest for 3 minutes before serving alongside the garlic mashed potatoes.
