Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I know it’s been said before, but you really can’t have too many chicken recipes. Especially chicken recipes like this Chicken with Rosemary Butter Sauce.
This delicious dish can be made in about 20 minutes and only dirties one pot! And a sauce made with butter and cream–how could you possibly go wrong there?
This was soooo tasty! Husband and I scarfed ours down with with some pasta. We will be making again. Thank you for something new to do with chicken.

This chicken is nice enough for company, but easy enough for a weeknight meal. My kind of dinner!
I recommend a side of rice, potatoes or pasta to go with the creamy rosemary and butter pan gravy. In fact, it’s not a bad idea to double the sauce so you have some to spoon over your chosen side dish.
Add some grilled or steamed veggies (we like green beans!) and you’ve got a fabulous meal in almost no time.
This is the best and most favoured in my household. Thank you so very much for sharing. Beautiful.

Could coconut milk work instead of cream? I’m trying to avoid dairy
Danelle
I think that would work just fine.
Luna
What do you serve this with? I mean by itself?

This was soooo tasty! Husband and I scarfed ours down with with some pasta. I seasoned chicken with salt, pepper and johnnys because I’m a sucker for seasoning. We will be making again. Thank you for something new to do with chicken.

Thank you SO much!

This is the best and most favoured in my household. Special treat only as it is fattening LOL we love this recipe. I did double the liquid portions though so the chicken breast was saturated in the yummy goodness. Thank you so very much for sharing. Beautiful ♡
Danelle
Thank you!

I have a large family so I automatically doubled the recipe. There was not enough cream sauce (even with the recipe doubled) to adequately cover the 8 halved chicken breast. This is my suggestion for the sauce:
1 and 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 and 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
Also, the sauce mixture took close to 12 minutes to thicken. (Stir occasionally!)
This recipe was delicious and my family thoroughly enjoyed it. 🙂
Maryse

Sour cream works great instead of the heavy whipping cream if you don’t have that which most people have in their fridge. Also adding mushrooms makes a great addition… overall great recipe! All love it!
Erin
Have you used dried rosemary instead of the fresh?
Danelle
No but you definitely could. Just use less.
Emily
Would you suggest cooking it in the crockpot?
Marisol
Can this still work if I don’t have the heavy sipping cream?
Danelle
It would just be chicken in broth, really but it would still work.
Kalin lancaster
I used regular milk and it worked great!
Taylor
Delicious! I did add some garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest, but we will be adding this to our recipe rotation! Thanks!
Jodi
This dish was delicious, although I may double the sauce recipe. There didn’t seem to be much left to spoon over the rice. But, all three of my picky eaters gobbled it up, and my husband who’s been getting harder and harder to please said it was excellent!
Danelle
Thanks so much Jodi! Glad everyone like it!
