2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp minced fresh rosemary

1 cup of frozen peas
2 tablespoons of butter
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Add the potatoes, cut side down, and cook for about 7 minutes or until the cut side is browned. Add the garlic, herbs, and cook until fragrant or about 30 seconds. Add the broth and wine and scrape up any browned bits on the pan. Return the chicken to the skillet and place on top of potatoes. Cover and simmer on medium-low for about 10-15 minutes

Remove the chicken and potatoes and place on serving platter. Cover with aluminum foil.

Return the skillet to the stove over medium-high heat and reduce the sauce to about 1 cup. Stir in the peas and cook for about 1 minute.

Off the heat stir in the butter and lemon juice and then pour over the chicken and potatoes and serve.
