Rosemary Chicken Thighs Recipe. A stove-top to oven one pot meal that loaded with luscious savory flavors in a rich white wine sauce. Easy and quick and delicious dinner recipe.
I was reading a food blog the other day that suggested that we come up with a new word to describe a dish or recipe that is surprisingly easy and fabulously delicious. I’ve come up with omgeasy, and this recipe fits the bill.
One Pot Chicken Thigh Recipes
We’re big fans of one pot braised or roasted chicken thigh dishes and this stove-top to oven meal is one of our favorites.
My cast iron skillet has become my best friend in this arena. A good quality and well-seasoned cast iron skillet is worth it’s weight in gold. It’s best feature, browning stove top and then transferring to the oven.
This Rosemary Chicken Thighs recipe is so easy that the hardest part is flouring and searing the chicken in hot oil. Which is really not hard at all. Just a little messy here and there. The rest is a breeze.
Ingredients are simple when compared to the complex end-result flavors. After searing the chicken thighs in your cast iron skillet, just add white wine, chicken broth, fresh rosemary, bay leaves, garlic and lemon wedges.
That’s it! Pop it in the oven and in 30 minutes, voila, you’re singing its praises.
A great tip to keep that chicken crisp is to heat the skillet over medium high heat and not add the oil until the skillet is hot. When the oil is shimmering, then add the chicken thighs skin side down. Don’t turn them until they skillet releases them easy.
Cast Iron Skillet Lemon Garlic Rosemary Chicken Thighs Recipe
Serve over rice or mashed potatoes, or for a healthier option, alongside your favorite fresh vegetable. Don’t forget to use a big spoon for a hearty drizzle of this luxurious sauce.
I hope you give this Rosemary Chicken Thighs recipe a try, and if you do, please come back and give the recipe a star rating.
And if you have a favorite cast iron skillet chicken thigh recipe, let me know, I’d love to give it a try.

Rosemary Chicken Thighs Recipe. A cast iron skillet stove-top to oven one pot meal that loaded with rich savory flavors in a rich white wine sauce. Easy and quick not to mention a delicious dinner recipe.
- 8 chicken thighs bone in, skin on
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup flour for dredging
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 3 whole garlic cloves peeled and smashed
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 whole lemon cut into wedges
Heat oven to 425˚. Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Put flour on a plate and dredge chicken in flour to coat, shaking off excess.
Heat oil in a 12" cast iron or oven proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs skin side down and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. With tongs, and when the skillet easy releases the chicken skin, flip the chicken thighs over.
Add wine, chicken broth, rosemary, garlic and bay leaves. Return pan to heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
Transfer the cast iron skillet to the oven, and cook until chicken is tender, about 30 minutes.

November 7, 2014 at 7:26 amSo is that pronounced OM-jeezy or OM-geezy? I’m guessing it is the soft g sound. I might have to borrow that phrase!
Lea Ann Brown says
November 7, 2014 at 4:13 pmthat would be with the soft “g”. And you go right ahead and borrow away.

November 7, 2014 at 12:25 pmWe love simple dishes too and if I’m not careful, I’m likely to add rosemary to most any chicken dish. Just love that herb.

Amira says
November 8, 2014 at 10:58 pmI like your omgeasy term 🙂 so nice and creative. This really looks so tempting to try, a question though before I go ahead and try this, would it be ok to substitute wine with chicken stock? or what do you recommend as a non-alcoholic sub?
Lea Ann Brown says
November 12, 2014 at 8:01 amThanks Amira. Chicken stock would be a great substitute.
Debra says
November 9, 2014 at 8:43 amLove the dish. And the new term.
Lea Ann Brown says
November 12, 2014 at 8:01 amThanks Debra.
Barb says
November 11, 2014 at 2:57 pmHi Lea Ann, You know I’m an omgeasy kind of gal! I believe even I could be successful with this chicken. I thought of you this afternoon (I know – crazy since I don’t “know” you), but I made a marsala mushroom gravy for my meatloaf tonight. I thought you’d be proud. (It was omgeasy)
Lea Ann Brown says
November 12, 2014 at 8:04 amI love love love the sound of that gravy for meatloaf. Chicken Marsala has been on my list of things to make for years, I loved it’s flavor when I had it in a restaurant. And using a gravy over meatloaf sounds divine. Thanks for that idea Barb.
Barb says
November 16, 2014 at 10:36 amI make chicken masala – it’s very easy. Since we had a hankering for meatloaf, I just made the gravy with beef broth,mushrooms, garlic, onion, marsala, and a bit of flour for thickening. Lea Ann, I’m unable to save your blog to my dashboard so I can see when you post. I’ve tried several times on different occasions. Not sure why? I have other Word Press Blogs on the dashboard.
Lea Ann Brown says
November 16, 2014 at 2:37 pmBarb, is it because I’m a self hosted word press site?
