Pan-Roasted Chicken Breast Recipe

Pan-Roasted Chicken Breast Recipe

  • 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
  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken in the melted butter, skin-side down; cook chicken skin in hot butter until beginning to brown and crisped, about 5 minutes.
  2. Flip chicken breasts. Arrange potatoes, carrots, and celery around the chicken.
  3. Chop rosemary and lemon thyme together; sprinkle over the chicken and vegetables. Season everything with paprika, garlic powder, seasoned salt, white pepper, salt and black pepper.
  4. Place a lid on the skillet 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).
