Description

Juicy pan-roasted chicken breasts are cooked in a skillet with savory vegetables seasoned with fresh rosemary and thyme. It's an easy one-skillet meal!

Ingredients

1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 bone-in skin-on chicken breasts
4 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
4 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rounds
3 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon fresh lemon thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as LAWRY'S®)
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Melt butter in a 12-inch cast iron or regular skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and cook until beginning to brown and crisp, about 5 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, chop rosemary and lemon thyme together.
3 Flip chicken; arrange potatoes, carrots, and celery around the edges of the skillet. Sprinkle herbs over top, then season with paprika, garlic powder, seasoned salt, white pepper, salt, and black pepper.
4 Cover and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
