I am obsessed with brown butter. Brown butter is just butter heated until it turns brown and gets a nutty flavor to it. It’s DELICIOUS.
I’ve been serving brown butter chicken for weeks- my oldest has been begging for it- and my neighbor shared some fresh rosemary with me so I decided to take the plan brown butter chicken up a notch with a buttery cream sauce!
I love cooking this in a heavy cast iron pan – the chicken crisps up wonderfully.
