A couple of days ago I shared a post on Instagram listing my favorite herbs to cook with. In case you missed it, it went like this…
1) cilantro x10000000
2) basil
3) everything else
But this dish right here, this rosemary chicken and potatoes thing that we’ve got going on, it’s just begging me to pull rosemary out of that ‘everything else’ group and give it the number three spot. Or maybe even tie with basil. Because I am love love love.ing. it.
Let’s keep talking numbers though. When all is said and done, this recipe has 6 ingredients. S I X people. That’s it. and that is including the chicken and potatoes. This is definitely one of those less-is-more situations because even though this dish is incredibly simple, it has a ton of flavor.
Another important number? Thirty: the number of minutes it takes to make this dish. And seriously that is being wayyyy generous. Like if you have really thick cuts of chicken and aren’t too careful about chopping your potatoes into exactly 1 inch pieces, which lets be honest, who measures their chopped potatoes anyway?
So with just 30 minutes and 6 very simple ingredients you’re putting not only some incredibly juicy, tender and perfectly seasoned chicken on the table, but a side dish too. That right there is the beauty of a one pan meal. It’s safe to say that one pan wonders are quickly becoming a staple in my house and just looking at this one pan rosemary chicken and potato dish, I think it’s pretty obvious why!

wow, so FLAVORFUL!!!!
Actually great. I was looking for a way to cook chicken thighs without a pan you can use in the oven, and this recipe worked out great! Rosemary and garlic is just so aromatic…
Loved it
Great easy tasty Sunday dinner. Used sweet potatoes cause that’s what I had on hand. Leftovers for lunch tomorrow 😋
Awesome job!! Those leftovers sound scrumptious!
While flavorful, i added
A Small AMOUNT of wHite wine and chicken broth. Potat still took as
Long as 25 min to cook thoroughly.
Thanks for your input! Glad it turned out well for you 🙂
My wife loved the dish, It was amazingly easy to prepare and cook. She loved the flavor and I will be adding this to my list of easy dishes. She made a Kale salad to make the dinner a complete success!
Way to go, Bill! It sounds like you and your wife knocked this one out of the park!
This is so tasty and easy to make. I added in quartered Brussels sprouts at the same time as the potatoes AND some crème FRAICHE at the end. Delicious!
oh my, YUM! I bet brussels sprouts were delicious in this! Thanks for your feedback, Laura!
I have yet to jump on the brussel sprout train – although I’ve noticed it’s popularity exploding (at least in terms of its addition to those fancy boxed meals and trending in recipes). I can’t say I’ve actually eaten brussel sprouts – or if I ever did, I’ve completely forgotten – so I don’t necessarily have a negative opinion of them (except the smell of cooked brussel sprouts, that of which I have a very clear memory haha). So is it just a “hold your nose” situation and they’re actually delicious? Or is it more an issue of “the right palate” for that sort of thing?
Ooh, crème fraiche? Did you add it into the pan at the end of cooking or after plating? I haven’t made use of crème fraiche before so I have no idea what to do with it. Also, because you added brussel sprouts, did you add any cooking time or did it still work out with the recipe’s cooking time?
I was looking for an easy chicken recipe to make without an oven. Love this recipe! I made it just as shown. I also made it with mushrooms, but used a bigger skillet and a little more butter. My husband loved the flavor of the rosemary and garlic potatoes. Super easy to make.
This looks amazing an d extremely tasty x

This looks really good and tasty and the potatoes.. I have not cooked my chicken on the skillet like this unless it is just chicken slices. I always baked so now I can try this new way for me;) thanks for sharing.
