Pan-Roasted Chicken with Mushrooms and Rosemary
- 1 (6-ounce) boneless chicken breast with wing attached, with skin
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 5 fresh white mushrooms, halved
- 2 shallots, halved
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Season the chicken on both sides with a generous amount of salt and pepper.
- Place a cast-iron or regular ovenproof skillet on the stove over medium heat.
- Drizzle the pan with the oil and lay the chicken in the hot fat, skin-side down.
- Cook for about 5 minutes until the skin begins to set and crisp.
- Throw in the mushrooms, shallots, and rosemary.
- Stick the whole thing in the hot oven and roast for 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked, and the mushrooms and shallots are soft and roasted.
- The last thing to make is a quick sauce using the flavors left in the bottom of the skillet.
- Take all the stuff out of the pan and arrange on a dinner plate to keep warm while preparing the pan sauce.
- Pour out all but 1 tablespoon of the rendered chicken fat and return the skillet to the stovetop.
- Stir in the water and lemon juice and cook over medium heat, scraping up the flavors with a wooden spoon.
- Cook the liquid down to a syrup, about 5 minutes.
- Drizzle the pan sauce over the dish, season with salt and pepper.
