Ingredients
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat and brown the chicken on all sides.
- Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.
- Dissolve the bouillon cubes in 1/2 cup water.
- Add the bouillon mixture, sliced onions, and potatoes to the Dutch oven.
- Cover and simmer for 45 minutes until the chicken and vegetables are tender.
- Serve hot, preferably with green beans on the side.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, herbs, and spices for a few hours before cooking. If you don’t have chicken bouillon cubes, you can substitute with homemade chicken broth or stock for a richer taste. For a twist, consider adding carrots or bell peppers for additional color and flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Rosie’s Chicken hot, ideally accompanied by green beans for a balanced meal. This dish pairs beautifully with Hot Chicken Salad Sandwiches for a delicious lunch option. A side salad or crusty bread could also complement the meal nicely, adding freshness and texture.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a covered dish in the oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions, but be careful not to overheat as this can dry out the chicken.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in chicken pieces instead of a whole cut-up chicken?
Yes, bone-in chicken pieces will work well for this recipe. Just adjust the cooking time slightly, as larger pieces may take a bit longer to cook through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safety.
How do I make this dish more flavorful?
You can increase the flavor by adding garlic, lemon zest, or even a splash of white wine to the cooking liquid. Fresh herbs like parsley or basil can also be stirred in just before serving for an aromatic finish.
Can I make this recipe in a slow cooker?
Absolutely! To adapt this recipe for a slow cooker, brown the chicken first, then add all ingredients to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is tender and the flavors meld beautifully.
