🥘 Ingredients
Olive Oil, to cook the chicken in. I use extra virgin olive oil because it is one of the healthiest, nutrient-rich oils to cook with.
Chicken breast tenders, take skinless chicken breasts and cut them lengthwise into ½" pieces.
Green onions provide a mild, pungent flavor to the dish.
Dry white wine has less residual sugar, intensifies the flavors of the rosemary chicken recipe and enhances the aroma.
Fresh rosemary provides fragrant, pine-like flavors to the sauce.
Chicken broth enhances the sauce by providing a mild, savory element. I use this roasted chicken base and mix it with water to make my own broth.
Half and half brings a creamy, richness to the rosemary sauce.

🙋 Recipe FAQ's
Can you use dry rosemary instead of fresh herbs?
Yes, you'll want to only use a teaspoon of dry herb for every tablespoon of the fresh herb.
How do I know my chicken is cooked through?
Cooked chicken should have an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees and not be pink on the inside.
Is there a dairy-free alternative to half and half?
Yes, oat milk or cashew milk would give that creamy feel and would work in this recipe.
💭 Tips
- Chicken broth can be used in the place of wine to deglaze the pan.
- Rosemary sprigs will keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks if wrapped in a damp paper towel and inside a ziplock bag.

📖 Variations

- Heavy or light cream can be substituted for the half and half.
- Make it a lemon rosemary chicken recipe by substituting the wine for lemon juice and adding lemon zest as a garnish.
