Instructions

  1. Mix rosemary, half of garlic, and 2 tablespoons oil in a small bowl; rub over flesh side of chicken. Cover; chill 1 –12 hours.

  2. Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 400 °F. Pat skin side of chicken dry; season with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin side down, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

  3. Transfer to oven; roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of thigh registers 165 °F, 20 –25 minutes. Transfer chicken, skin side up, to a plate.

  4. Cook shallot, thyme, and remaining half of garlic in skillet, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add broth and cook, scraping up browned bits, until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in butter. Serve chicken with pan sauce.

Why this Pan-Roasted Rosemary Chicken works for PCOS

Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
