Rosemary-Roasted Chicken with Apples and Potatoes image

The beginning of fall comes with an abundance of apples, which means it's time to start baking! But more than pies, apples roast extremely well with chicken! This dish makes a fantastic sweater-weather meal, with beautifully roasted chicken and an apple, potato, and onion bake that takes advantage of the delicious roasted chicken drippings.

Roast Chicken with Apples, Leeks, and Rosemary image

This is a favorite of mine, my friend introduced us to it. It's really simple, very few ingredients, and tastes amazing! So easy, low prep time, and great flavor results. Mmmmm. I serve this with couscous and you can even chop some of the apples and rosemary up from the dish and mix into the couscous.

Tips for Making Apple-Rosemary Chicken:

  • Choose the right chicken. For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs work best. The bones and skin help keep the chicken moist during cooking.
  • Use fresh rosemary. Dried rosemary will not have the same flavor as fresh rosemary. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary instead.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between each piece of chicken so that it can brown properly.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help it cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Baste the chicken with the pan juices. Basting the chicken with the pan juices will help it stay moist and flavorful.
  • Roast the chicken until it is cooked through. The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Apple-rosemary chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
