Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 4 chicken breasts dry and season with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp thyme.
  2. Step 2: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp chopped rosemary. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Place chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  3. Step 3: Add 1.5 lbs cubed potatoes (1-inch pieces) to the skillet. Pour in 1/4 cup white wine and stir to coat. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F/75°C) and potatoes are tender and golden.
  4. Step 4: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional rosemary if desired.

How do I store leftover Rosemary Garlic Chicken Skillet?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep chicken breasts from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Rosemary Garlic Chicken Skillet?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Rosemary Garlic Chicken Skillet for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
