Christmas week can get hectic, and this is when I really need a dinner that feels special without demanding my whole evening. Rosemary feels like such a classic winter herb, especially around the holidays, so when I found this rosemary chicken recipe from Dinner at the Zoo, I knew it would be perfect for a cozy, flavorful dinner.
Cooking Experience
This one was very simple to pull together, which was exactly what I needed. I browned the chicken on the stovetop first to get that golden crust, then transferred it to the oven to finish. While it baked, I was able to prep the sides. No long hands on cooking time required, which is always a win.
Taste Test
Here’s how it went down:
- Me: I thought the chicken turned out juicy, fragrant, and full of rosemary flavor
- Paul: He liked it and said he’d be happy to eat it again (although shake and bake is still his goto for oven chicken 😂).
- Ben: He tried a bite and said he didn’t want more, though he did have a pretty big lunch so I don’t think he was very hungry. I did convince him to take more bites from my plate, because somehow food always tastes better from mommy’s plate, even when it’s the same thing!
Final Thoughts
This rosemary chicken recipe is definitely going into the “make again soon” folder. It was easy, tasted great, and had just enough holiday flavor to feel festive without requiring a ton of work.
