Roasted Rosemary Chicken Potatoes
I’ve pretty sure I’ve said it before that I really love rosemary. It’s so aromatic and distinctive. If you use the fresh stuff, you really don’t need anything else. A little sea salt and pepper and off you go.
That was the idea with this quick and simple, one pan meal. For me it was especially easy because I already had a batch of my roasted garlic oil in the cupboard. Regular olive oil works too. Totally use what you have to keep this easy peasy.
First, I chopped up the peppers and some red onion. After chopping, I transferred them to the pan I’ll be using for this recipe. A few smashed garlic cloves that will get all roasty toasty also were added. I scrubbed up some potatoes and chopped ’em into quarters. Because I use organic potatoes, I left the skins on. Love that fibre!
Try to keep them uniform in size so they all roast evenly. Off they go into the pan.
I cut three chicken breasts into strips and placed them into the same pan. I tossed the whole lot with the above mentioned garlic oil, salt, pepper, and of course, fresh rosemary. I rubbed everything well and really massaged the oil into my pan full off veggies and chicken.
Off it went into the oven to roast. Give it a good stir every ten minutes or so. Not just to make sure nothing is burning but to get a beautiful whiff of the roasting rosemary. Inhale deeply. It’s so energizing!
I’ve been thinking about some New Year’s goals to set and I really think actually planting a small herb garden needs to happen. I get a ridiculous amount of joy from fresh herbs. We’ll see, I guess. I do want to be a person who gardens.
In the meantime, I’ll enjoy dishes like this one. 😉

Hi Sharon,
We love this recipe though think we may have done something wrong! We ended up baking it in a 10′ x 14″ glass baking dish and when we removed it from the oven there was a lot of liquid in the dish. So we did not get those nice browned potatoes that you had.
We are wondering if this dish would have have had the cooking juices overflow if we had used a sheet pan?
Hmmm … I think this could be a couple of things. The first is maybe the chicken had more water or fat content in it? I used a sliced chicken breast (tenders work well) which releases less of the juices. I used a stainless steel baking pan – 9×13 – lined with parchment. It has higher sides than a sheet pan. If you use glass it does take longer to heat up so maybe you would need to cook it for 5-10 minutes longer to get the delicious browned and crispy taste you’re looking for. Let me know how it goes! 🙂
This recipe sounds delicious! I plan to make for a GF mom and her 4 kids. I am concerned that the chicken breasts make cook quicker than the potatoes. Do you make the ckicken strips bigger and potatoes smaller so everything cooks at same time?
Hey Debbie! Aren’t you a doll cooking for someone else! You are welcome to my house anytime. 😉 I slice chicken into even strips (check out the picture for size reference) and the potatoes into 8 pieces. I find the cook time works perfectly. Enjoy!
I am SO with you on fresh rosemary, and fresh herbs in general – they really add so much to a dish.
I find growing them in the summer saves so much money too. And the woody ones like rosemary and thyme even last into October/November!
Jealous! Do you have an herb garden? I have got to do it this year. Even a container one …
YUM! Chicken and potatoes are like a staple in my meals. I love, love, love chicken, but haven’t ever tried rosemary. I know, I know, kick me now!
Rosemary is totally woody. It tastes like it smells, so give some a whiff when you are at the store. If you like the aroma you will love the taste. 🙂
