This tender chicken goes perfectly with these Instant Pot Salted Potatoes! No instant pot? No problem! These Oven Roasted Maple Sweet Potatoes pair wonderfully with this gluten free chicken recipe.

Also, this flavour combo is amazing on the grill! Check out my friend David’s recipe for Grilled Lemon Rosemary Chicken.

Lemon and rosemary are a superb union and make your chicken much more fancy schmancy. And yes, schmancy is a word. It means very, very fancy. 😉

How to make this recipe:

Used the juice of one lemon, olive oil, freshly chopped rosemary and sea salt and pepper.

Shake it all together in a small mason jar. Easy peasy.

marinade in a mason jar.

Season the chicken with sea salt and pepper and then pour on the marinade. With your hands, give everything a good rub down, then give your hands a good rub down with some soap and water. Why? Because salmonella sucks, that’s why!

Pop the chicken into the fridge and let it sit for a minimum of three hours for all the lemony goodness to absorb.

The result is juicy, tender chicken with a nice hit of citrus. The rosemary added that beautiful woodsy aroma.

Side note: Taking these images of the chicken was like aromatherapy!

I think I may start wearing rosemary as perfume. 🙂
