🥘 Ingredients

Olive Oil, to cook the chicken in. I use extra virgin olive oil because it is one of the healthiest, nutrient-rich oils to cook with.

Chicken breast tenders, take skinless chicken breasts and cut them lengthwise into ½" pieces.

Green onions provide a mild, pungent flavor to the dish.

Dry white wine has less residual sugar, intensifies the flavors of the rosemary chicken recipe and enhances the aroma.

Fresh rosemary provides fragrant, pine-like flavors to the sauce.

Chicken broth enhances the sauce by providing a mild, savory element. I use this roasted chicken base and mix it with water to make my own broth.

Half and half brings a creamy, richness to the rosemary sauce.

Step 2:

Add the wine, rosemary, and green onions to the skillet. Return to the burner over medium heat and cook 30 seconds to deglaze the pan, stirring constantly, being sure to scrape up all the browned bits.
Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer 2 minutes. Add the half and half and simmer 2 minutes. until the sauce has thickened slightly.

🙋 Recipe FAQ's

Can you use dry rosemary instead of fresh herbs?

Yes, you'll want to only use a teaspoon of dry herb for every tablespoon of the fresh herb.

How do I know my chicken is cooked through?

Cooked chicken should have an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees and not be pink on the inside.

Is there a dairy-free alternative to half and half?

Yes, oat milk or cashew milk would give that creamy feel and would work in this recipe.

💭 Tips

Chicken broth can be used in the place of wine to deglaze the pan.
Rosemary sprigs will keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks if wrapped in a damp paper towel and inside a ziplock bag.

📖 Variations

Chicken thighs can be used in place of the chicken tenders.
Heavy or light cream can be substituted for the half and half.
Make it a lemon rosemary chicken recipe by substituting the wine for lemon juice and adding lemon zest as a garnish.

🍽 Equipment
