4
ingredients
- 1 lb small red potato, halved
- kosher salt
- 2 sprigs rosemary, plus 1 tablespoon leaves
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 2 lemons, juice of, plus zest of 1 (squeezed halves reserved)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 skin-on bone-in chicken breasts
- 10 ounces cremini mushrooms, halved
- 1⁄2 cup honey
- 1 cup heavy cream
directions
- Preheat the oven to 450. Cover the potatoes with cold water in a saucepan and salt the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 8 minutes; drain and set aside.
- Pile the rosemary leaves, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and the red pepper flakes on a cutting board, then mince and mash into a paste using a large knife. Transfer the paste to a bowl. Stir in the juice of 1 lemon and the olive oil. Add the chicken and turn to coat.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, cover and cook until the skin browns, about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken; add the mushrooms and potatoes to the skillet and drizzle with the juice of the remaining lemon. Add the rosemary sprigs and the squeezed lemon halves to the skillet.
- Transfer to the oven and roast, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the chicken, rosemary sprigs, potatoes, mushrooms and lemon halves from the pan on a large platter set aside. Place the pan over medium-high heat. Add heavy cream and honey. Bring the liquid to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Allow the sauce to reduce 5 to 8 minutes. Pour over the chicken on the platter and serve.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
