I love skillet recipes. Using just one pan makes food prep and clean-up so much easier, which makes take-out a little less alluring on those busy weeknights.

All you need are some kitchen staples, like butter, olive oil, salt, and pepper, and a few key ingredients: garlic, diced tomatoes, lemon juice, fresh rosemary sprigs, and chicken breasts. You could also use chicken cutlets or tenders to make it even quicker, too.


How to Make Rosemary Chicken with Tomatoes

Now, let’s get cooking! This rosemary chicken skillet recipe starts with butter and garlic in a heated cast iron skillet. If you don’t have a skillet, you can use any frying pan, but an oven-safe one will work best.

While you’re browning the garlic in the skillet, have your child help strain the diced tomatoes. Set the tomatoes aside. Then, add the tomato juice to the skillet and bring to a simmer.

Next, rub some olive oil, black pepper, salt, and rosemary leaves onto your chicken breasts to infuse them with the flavor of the herbs. Then, add them to the skillet and brown on each side.

After the chicken breasts are browned, add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and pop it in the oven for a cook time of 10 minutes (or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 ºF. If your skillet isn’t oven-safe, you can transfer your rosemary chicken and tomatoes to a baking dish or small roasting pan before putting in the oven.

Psst… Have the kids help set the table — dinner will be ready soon!


Finishing Your Tomato Rosemary Chicken Breast Dish

While your rosemary chicken breast is in the oven, you can prepare a grain for mixing with the rosemary tomato sauce. This time I went with quinoa, but rice works nicely, too. Or, for more balanced nutrition, pair this protein recipe with a vegetable side dish like brussel sprouts or green beans.

Once you’ve plated your grain and rosemary chicken breast, top it with a squirt of lemon juice (or even some lemon zest), salt (I prefer kosher salt), black pepper, and of course, some sprigs of fresh rosemary.

Other photos include ingredients like fresh rosemary, a lemon, garlic, and canned diced tomatoes.

I love this rosemary chicken with tomatoes served just like this. But, you can also make a thicker tomato sauce that tastes even richer by pushing some spoonfuls of cooked tomatoes through a sieve.
