Super Awesome Chicken Recipe!

So, Camille and I have been cooking a lot more at home lately and this is one of the new favorites of mine. I think that just because of this recipe, i'm going to have to plant some rosemary in the garden this spring. We haven't tried making the potatoes with it but usually make something else for the sides.



Rosemary Baked Chicken and Potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup chopped fresh rosemary or 2 ½ teaspoons dried
¼ cup fine unseasoned dry bread crumbs
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 ½ pounds chicken
1 pound small red potatoes

1.Preheat the oven to 425. Line a broiler pan with foil.
2.In a small bowl, combine the oil, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp of dried).
3.In another small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parmesan, pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons of rosemary (or 1 ½ teaspoons dried).
4.Place the chicken on the broiler pan and sprinkle the bread crumb-parmesan mixture over the chicken.
5.If the potatoes are very small leave them whole; otherwise, halve them. Place the potatoes around the chicken.
6.Drizzle the rosemary oil over the chicken and potatoes and bake for 20 minutes.
7.Reduce oven temperature to 375 and continue baking for 30-40 minutes or until potatoes are tender and chicken is golden and cooked through.

Even if you don’t make the potatoes, the chicken is awesome.
