RECIPE: Lemon Rosemary Chicken

May 28, 2015

This is quite easily the dish that I eat most often in my house. It is quick and easy and it’s made with ingredients that I always have on hand.  Fresh lemon juice (to go in my morning smoothie), fresh garlic (because it’s delicious), and fresh rosemary (because someone told me that a planting a rosemary bush in your front yard meant that a strong woman lives inside – I’m hoping that the same holds true for a small jar of rosemary on the balcony!).

Truth be told, I rarely measure the ingredients but I did this last time so that I could make sure this version was perfect!  I simply coat both sides of the chicken with olive oil, lemon, garlic, rosemary and pepper.  Typically I don’t use salt in this recipe because I think that it has enough flavor without.  Although that might be the difference between getting your recipes from a nutritionist and from a chef, so feel free to sprinkle with salt.

If I have the time (or am feeling fancy for the internet) I will sprinkle a little lemon zest and top with fresh lemon slices while I am waiting for the oven to preheat to 400 degrees.  Once the oven is heated I cook the chicken for about 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through to make sure it is cooked evenly.

Then, of course I garnish all my dishes with some strong lady rosemary and serve only on environmentally sustainable bamboo – or maybe that is also just when I’m being fancy for the internet!
