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.

    Love it but you had me at Rosemary. Super easy with a ton of flavor. I did add pepper and garlic. I would definitely make it again. Thank you for the recipe ❤️

  • Could coconut milk work instead of cream? I’m trying to avoid dairy

  • What do you serve this with? I mean by itself?
