I have been having loads of fun growing my own fresh herbs here in the Kitchen. My kitchen window seal is decorated with fresh rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley, Thai basil, mint, and of course my dear bonsai and lucky bamboo plant too. Growing your own herb garden is so easy to do and it is convenient having them right there in my kitchen. Adding fresh herbs to your dishes, takes your dishes from “ho hum” to “out of this world” as they are vibrant and so aromatic.
I do not have a green thumb and am actually shocked that I have not killed any of my herbs yet. (smiling) I just try to keep them watered daily and they are accidentally doing well.
I was given a bunch of fresh mint by my favorite little vendor in the Central wet market and I put it in a vase of water on my window seal and it started to grow roots. How cool is that! (Getting that perfect shot is always challenge for me between my family that is always trying to eat it before I get a shot of it and of course there is the family dog-Buddy.
So do you think this plate of Rosemary Chicken with Sautéed Onion Wine Sauce would be safe here with Buddy, while I go fetch myself a glass of wine? Hmmmm?

I have found that growing herbs from a seedling is far easier to do than planting it from seeds and nurturing them to a sturdy plant. I am impatient and want to use my herbs on a daily basis. You can buy fresh herbs here in the grocery store pre-sealed in a container and I found that the herbs in plants are only a few cents more and will get tons more product from them so it is penny wise as well. See if I can actually grow things, so can you!
Rosemary and chicken are a like a little match in heaven. I used chicken tenderloins as they are so easy to prepare and they cook up in no time at all making this an easy weeknight meal.
Our family tries to eat relatively healthy which means loads of chicken, fish and vegan recipes. Sometimes boredom sets in we need to really change things up a bit to make boneless and skinless chicken exciting again. A simple and very economical way to change-up your chicken breasts it to add naturally sweet and delicious caramelized or grilled onions on top of your chicken and with a simple wine sauce just makes this simple Rosemary Chicken with Sautéed Onion Wine Sauce lip smacking good.
I served this delicious Rosemary Chicken with Sautéed Onion Wine Sauce meal with a lovely tossed salad and green beans. Low carb and beautiful!

Rosemary Chicken with Sautéed Onion Wine Sauce
Ingredients
- 8 chicken tenderloins
- 2 tsp rosemary
fresh chopped finely (1 teaspoon for chicken and 1 teaspoon for the onions) - salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 large onions
peeled and sliced into rings - 1/2 cup white wine
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp margarine/butter (I used dairy free margarine)
Instructions
- Sprinkle chicken tenderloins with 1 teaspoon of chopped rosemary and salt and pepper on both sides. Place olive oil in skillet and heat up to medium heat and cook chicken tenderloins about 3-4 minutes per side or until juices run clear. Remove chicken from pan and keep warm. (DO NOT WASH THE PAN)
- Add the sliced onions to the pan and add 1 teaspoon of rosemary and salt and pepper to taste. Saute onions until slightly golden brown but still have a nice little aldente crunch about 5-8 minutes. Remove onions from the pan and keep warm.
- Add white to pan and deglaze pan for about 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to burn off. Add the chicken broth to the wine sauce and allow to reduce sauce to reduce by half. Check and adjust seasoning. Add the cooked chicken and onion back to pan to rewarm and then add margarine/butter to the pan and remove from the heat. Stir to melt the margarine/butter.
- Serve Rosemary Chicken with Caramelized Onion Sauce on a plate with chicken on the bottom mounded on top with onions and drizzled on top with the wine sauce. Enjoy!
This dish was delicious! I used chicken breast that I brined.The chicken was so moist, smothered in the onions and wine sauce. My family loved it. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
Thank you Vera. We are so glad you family enjoyed our Rosemary Chicken with Sautéed Onion Wine Sauce. Wishing you family a super week ahead. Take Care
Gorgeous. My husband would love this because of the abundance of onions! Of course, so would I. This recipe also shows how easy it is to create a stunning meal in a short time. Love it.
Thank you Mimi! We love caramelized onions too. They are the star of this recipe.
This looks delicious and pretty healthy, I’m going to make it tomorrow. I just wanted to mention that I recently saw on one of the tv health shows that you should never ever wash chicken. I’ve been doing it forever and I am still alive but I thought that was interesting so I am just passing it on! You can google it and see info.
Hello Catherine, I am delighted that you like this recipe and will give it a try tomorrow. As you know, chicken can carry salmonella so the most important thing is to carefully wash everything the raw chicken has touched in your kitchen like cutting boards and knives to keep your family safe and healthy.

I don’t cook with wine, so can you tell me what white wine to use?
Hello Rosey, Thanks for stopping by Healthy World Cuisine.
In response to your question, “What white wine to use?” in Rosemary Chicken with Sauteed Onion Sauce…
Generally speaking, I usually use a little bit of the wine that I am also drinking. I like to use a dry crisp white wine. I usually do not buy wines that specifically say for cooking as they have a high salt content.
Some wine options I like to use are a dry chardonnay, Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.
I hope this helped answered your question. Thanks again for stopping by Healthy World Cuisine.
This was absolutely delicious. Thank you!

Thanks so much Juliana! Buddy is just trying to look cute so we break down and feel sorry for him and give him some chicken. LOL
Oh, I love Buddy! What a cutie pie! And then a big thank you to you!!! I’m always staring at the chicken in the freezer with no new ideas of what to make for dinner. Your chicken with rosemary sounds perfect—and Bill will love it, too!

This looks so delicious and elegant! Love the rosemary and mint.
Thank you dear! How is France? I can’t wait to go back one day and enjoy the lavender in full bloom.
I’ve been thinking about growing fresh herbs on my balcony!! I might have to just go buy some tiny plants and watch them grow. I’m the hugest fan of sauteed onions and I love how you layered so many of them on the chicken!
Hi there Lisa! I am so glad I have inspired you to grow some little herbs on your balcony. It is so nice to at any time just snip a little fresh herbs and throw it into whatever you are making.
This looks so amazing and delicious! I never knew mint was so easy to grow! I’ll definitely have to try it out. I also have wild rosemary growing near my apartment, time to nip some to make this chicken 😉
Hi there Jasline and thank you! How is your unpacking going? I know that about 90 percent of the shipment was kitchen supplies.. LOL If you find a wet market in your new location you really have to try the mint idea as it growing like crazy just in the glass of water.
Fresh, homegrown herbs are the best! It’s funny, but I can grow anything outside – but give me an indoor plant and somehow I manage to kill it!
Love your pairing of caramelized onions, wine, rosemary and chicken! Just exquisite!
I am always so amazed with what great talent you can create your awesome photos. I just had to say that. Thank you!
What a fantastic entree! Looks impressive.
