Skillet Rosemary Chicken

By: Kita · Published Nov 2, 2011 · Updated: Feb 14, 2017 · This post may contain affiliate links

Skillet meals are one of the easiest ways to feed a family. Chicken, potatoes, lemon, and fresh rosemary are added to one skillet, then cooked in the oven for a delicious dinner.

There's something appealing about a one dish meal (to be fair this one needs a pot of boiling water for the potatoes too...). Something magical about a skillet that can get tossed into the oven. And something quite spiffy about delicious hearty dinners at this time of year. Well, being honest, I don't think there's a time of year when I wouldn't skip breakfast or lunch for a good dinner. When all of the above combine, we can take a bite of rosemary scented heaven and relax after a long day.

This skillet chicken dinner can satisfy a hungry family on a weeknight, or easily impress guests with minimum effort.

However or whoever you want to serve it to, rush off into your kitchen and get this skillet rosemary chicken cooking as quick as you can.

Ingredients

  • ¾ pound small red-skinned potatoes, halved, or quartered if large
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, plus 1 tablespoon leaves
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Juice of 2 lemons (squeezed halves reserved)
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each)
  • 10 ounces cremini mushrooms, halved

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 450. Cover the potatoes with cold water in a saucepan and salt the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 8 minutes; drain and set aside.

Pile the rosemary leaves, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and the red pepper flakes on a cutting board, then mince and mash into a paste using a large knife. Transfer the paste to a bowl. Stir in the juice of 1 lemon and the olive oil. Add the chicken and turn to coat.

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, cover and cook until the skin browns, about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken; add the mushrooms and potatoes to the skillet and drizzle with the juice of the remaining lemon.

Add the rosemary sprigs and the squeezed lemon halves to the skillet; transfer to the oven and roast, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.

    One pot dishes are so awesome - especially skillet ones - so a home-y feel.

    What a gorgeous one-pot dish! It looks healthy, wholesome and incredibly flavorful. Rosemary must be one of my favorite spices ever! I need to get myself a cast-iron skillet, if only I had more space in my tiny one-bedroom apartment kitchen...

    I need a cast iron pan!!! Or just one that could easily go in the oven. I'm positive our crappy nonstick one won't due. This looks seriously fantastic. 🙂

    I've saved this recipe as it looks really wholesome and perfect for autumn. My skillet hates me though and insists on clinging on to my food - non stick for me I think.

    I made this almost exact dish as a whole roasted chicken on Sunday. Great flavors. I think your method might be a bit more practical as mine took a long time to cook. Purely a weekend dinner.
