What You’ll Need to Make One Pan Rosemary Chicken and Potatoes

  • Chicken Thighs – We prefer to use bone in, skin on

  • Pantry Seasonings – Rosemary, kosher salt & black pepper.

  • Olive Oil – We use extra virgin olive oil but any olive oil, avocado oil, vegetable oil or canola oil may be used for this recipe.

  • Onions & Shallots – While we like to use shallots and yellow onion for this recipe, a total of 1 1/2 cups of white onions, sweet onions, or red onions may be used instead.

  • Fresh Garlic – We use 4 cloves of garlic coarsely chopped, about a tablespoon.

  • Chicken Broth – Vegetable or beef broth may be used instead.

  • Potatoes – 3 medium sized potatoes. Yukon Gold potatoes, red potatoes, Idaho or russet potatoes can be used. Yukon Gold and Red potatoes are less likely to fall apart.

    I like chicken thighs too, especially if they are bone-in, which these look like. I’ve made layered chicken before but it’s a great idea to sear first — I imagine this has loads of flavor!
