Pan Roasted Chicken Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and sear them in the skillet until golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.

2. 2

   Add Aromatics

   Add minced garlic and rosemary to the skillet, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the lemon slices on top of the chicken.

3. 3

   Roast the Chicken

   Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the chicken for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

4. 4

   Make the Mashed Potatoes

   While the chicken is roasting, boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Cook the Asparagus

   In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add the trimmed asparagus. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and season with salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the chicken with mashed potatoes and asparagus on the side.
