Garlic and lemon not only make this rosemary chicken breasts recipe tasty but also packs 30 g of protein per 218 calorie serving
Happy Autumn, friends! Are you as excited for Fall as I am?? As I’ve said before, Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. The fashion, the apples, the air, the leaves.. you name it, I love it.
If you think we stop grilling once September arrives, you’re dead wrong. Until our grill is covered with snow, I will be out there grilling this tender, juicy rosemary chicken recipe.
Getting ahead with easy, make-ahead meals is the name of the game, my friends. Make extra chicken and use the leftovers on salads, wrapped in a pita with hummus or for a quick and easy taco night.
No matter how you choose to enjoy it, be sure to add this rosemary chicken to your regular rotate. With just 218 calories and over 30g protein per serving, it’s the perfect addition to any dinner plate.
Your fork is waiting.

March 12, 2013 at 8:05 amLast night I wanted chicken with a southwestern twist, so I substituted cilantro for rosemary and limes for lemons. It was great! I will do rosemary and lemon soon.
