Pan-Seared Chicken with Rosemary Butter Potatoes

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
A Sunday lunch classic. Chicken and potatoes seem simple, but butter and aromatics (garlic, rosemary) elevate them. Potatoes fried in butter are not just delicious; the fat aids the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins in the potato.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Two skillets (or one used sequentially)
  • Pot for boiling potatoes
  • Peeler

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Peel and cube potatoes. Boil in salted water until par-cooked (approx. 10 mins). Drain and let steam dry.

Tip: Letting steam escape dries the surface, ensuring they crisp up in the butter instead of turning to mush.
2 ✓

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear in oil over medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through.

Tip: Oil withstands higher heat than butter, making it better for searing meat.
3 ✓

In another skillet (or after the meat), melt the butter. Add rosemary and minced garlic, letting it foam.

Tip: Hot butter extracts flavors from the herbs (infusion).
4 ✓

Add the potatoes and fry in the herb butter until golden brown.

Tip: Don't stir too often; let them brown to form a crust.
5 ✓

Serve chicken with the fragrant potatoes, drizzled with any remaining butter.

Tip: A squeeze of lemon cuts through the richness.

Recipe FAQ

Why does the butter burn?
Milk solids in butter burn above 300°F (150°C). Use clarified butter (ghee) or mix with a little oil.
Which potatoes are best?
Waxy varieties (like Yukon Gold) that hold their shape but stay soft inside.
