Skillet Rosemary Chicken

My mom has been growing herbs this year. Along with other veggies. When she came up to help my sister move she brought up some of the herb, one was rosemary. I love rosemary and wanted to use it up right away. So I got this recipe out and cooked it up.
I didn't have bone-in skin-on chicken. So i use the boneless skinless chicken. And I also couldn't find cremini mushrooms. So i use the regular mushrooms. But it all turned out just fine. For whatever reason the mushroom seemed to have soaked up all the lemon because that was the one thing i tasted lemon in. It was good and I would make it again anytime.
Happy Cookin

10 ounces cremini mushrooms, halved

Preheat the oven to 450, Cover the potatoes with cold water in a saucepan and salt the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 8 minutes; drain and set aside.
Pile the rosemary leaves, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and the red pepper flakes on a cutting board, the mince and smash into a paste using a large knife. Transfer the paste to a bowl. Stir in the juice of 1 lemon and the olive oil. Add the chicken and turn to coat.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, cover and cook until the skin browns, about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken; add the mushrooms and potatoes to the skillet and drizzle with the juice of the remaining lemon. Add the rosemary sprigs and squeezed lemon halves to the skillet; transfer to the oven and roast, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp, 20 to25 minutes.
