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 rotation. With just 218 calories and over 30g protein per serving, it’s the perfect addition to any dinner plate. Want to try a sheet pan dinner instead?

    This is a flavorful recipe. I ate one the night I prepared them, one cold the next day and one reheated today. They were all good. I’m making more soon. Great recipe!

    Last 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.
