Cooked entirely in one pan making it the perfect quick and easy dinner! Best of all this Skillet Rosemary Chicken cooks up tender with a crispy skin, and the gravy is out of this world good! A hit with the entire family.
Yield: 4 servings

ngredients
  • 2-3 pounds of bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts, thighs or drumsticks
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced, divided
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 small shallot (about 2 tablespoons), minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or ghee, cut into small cubes
Instructions
    Marinade
  1. In a small bowl, combine together the 2 tablespoons minced rosemary, 2 minced garlic cloves and 2 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  2. Pat the chicken dry then rub the marinade on both sides of the chicken. Cover the chicken and refrigerate for 2-3 hours (You can go longer if you want).
    Preparing Chicken
  1. Preheat oven to 400F and place a rack in the lower third of the oven.
  2. Pat skin side of chicken dry, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in large ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. A 12" cast iron skillet works very well for this.
  4. Add chicken, skin side down to preheated skillet, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  5. Flip chicken over and transfer skillet to the oven.
  6. Roast chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh or breast, registers 165 degrees, about 20-25 minutes.
