Add chicken breasts, seasoned side down and season remaining side. Brown, turning once, until well browned on both sides. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Melt remaining butter in skillet. Cook potatoes, onions and rosemary, stirring for 2 minutes or until some liquid is released. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook, shaking pan often for about 15 minutes or until potatoes and onions are almost tender and starting to brown. Increase heat to medium/high and add vinegar.
