One Pot Lemon Rosemary Chicken

One Pot Lemon Rosemary Chicken

Bright, herby, and full of flavour, this easy one-pan dinner pairs juicy chicken with crispy-edged broccoli, sweet red onion, and zesty lemon slices. A garlicky Dijon-rosemary rub infuses the chicken with savoury goodness, while a touch of crushed red pepper adds a gentle kick. Perfect for a weeknight dinner that feels a little fancy—without the fuss.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 large garlic clove, chopped
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon, cut into thin slices, divided
  • 4 small bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 head broccoli
  • 1 red onion, cut into 1/2″ wedges
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper, plus more for serving

Directions

Preheat oven to 220 C.

Combine parsley, rosemary, garlic, Dijon, and 1 tablespoon oil in a bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Place 8 lemon slices and half of rosemary mixture underneath skin of chicken, dividing evenly. Rub remaining rosemary mixture over chicken, dividing evenly. Roast, on a rimmed baking sheet, 20 to 22 minutes.
