Potatoes And Chicken Rosemary
Juicy chicken strips paired with tender roasted potatoes and fragrant rosemary create a hearty, flavorful dish perfect for a comforting family meal or casual dinner.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Microwave the potatoes 8 to 10 minutes until tender.
- While potatoes cook, in a large skillet, toss and brown chicken and garlic in oil over high heat for 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked potatoes and crumbled rosemary to the skillet.
- Saute and toss until potatoes are lightly brown.
- Season with salt and pepper before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and rosemary for at least 30 minutes before cooking. If you prefer a different herb, thyme or oregano can also work well in place of rosemary. Using Yukon Gold potatoes will provide a buttery texture, but feel free to substitute with red potatoes for a firmer bite. Adjust the cooking time based on the size of your chicken pieces for even cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the potatoes and chicken rosemary with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with Rice Pilaff for a more filling side, or you could enjoy it alongside Lemon Mint Zucchini Soup for a refreshing touch. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving can elevate the dish further.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. You can also microwave the dish for 2-3 minutes, but this may make the potatoes a bit softer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use skin-on chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use skin-on chicken, but it may require a longer cooking time to ensure the chicken is fully cooked and the skin is crispy. Just be sure to adjust the initial browning time and check the internal temperature to ensure it reaches 165°F.
What can I do if I don't have dried rosemary?
If you don't have dried rosemary, you can substitute with fresh rosemary by using about three times the amount, as fresh herbs are less concentrated. Alternatively, you could use dried thyme or Italian seasoning for a different flavor profile.
Can I make this dish in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the chicken and potatoes in advance. Cook them as instructed and let them cool completely before storing. When ready to serve, simply reheat on the stovetop or in the oven until warmed through. This makes it a convenient option for meal prep.
