Description

This quick and flavorful chicken dish is so easy to make and is packed with so much flavor!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 3/4 pound small red-skinned potatoes, halved
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, plus 1 Tbsp leaves
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Juice of 2 lemons (squeezed halves reserved)
  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp. salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. 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.
  3. Pile the rosemary leaves, garlic, 2 tsp. salt and the red pepper flakes on a cutting board, then mince and mash into a paste using a large knife.
  4. Transfer the paste to a bowl and stir in the juice of 1 lemon and the olive oil. Add the chicken and turn to coat.
  5. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, cover and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  6. Turn the chicken; add potatoes to the skillet and drizzle with the juice of the remaining lemon.
  7. 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, about 25 minutes.
