In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces, crushed rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss the mixture until the chicken is well-coated.

Once boiling, cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
