My husband and I loved this although I completely agree with others who said that the recipe calls for too much rosemary. We used less especially since it's strong. To keep the chicken from drying out I used a little more lemon juice and some foil over the top halfway through baking. Read More

This recipe was very nice but it turned out rather dry. Also, the recipe called for way too much rosemary so I'd suggest people use their judgement on that and sprinkle as much on each piece as they want with their fingers. Read More

This was SO amazing, it really tasted like it was from a restaurant. To combat dry chicken I poured 99% fat free chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish, just enough to cover. I set the chicken in this, covered it with the lemon juice, rosemary, and garlic. Then I placed 2 thin slices of lemon on each breast... pretty, tasty, and provided a little more moisture. I did cut the rosemary back to 1 tablespoon, per others' suggestions. Very, very good... thank you! Read More

I used 1/4 cup rosemary instead. Also covered pan with tinfoil and added about 1/4 c. fat-free chicken broth. Used lemon-pepper in addition to lemon juice and thought it gave it just the right zip. Served with wild rice. A healthy and tasty meal overall. Read More

Great easy recipie...if you want to take a short cut though use the garlic that is in a jar...it's so much easier and just as good. I also used fresh rosemary! Read More

Fantastic recipe. I added about 1/3 cup of white wine just to give some additional flavor and it turned out great. I made it with the Italian Peas from this site and it was a meal I will definitely be making again. Read More

I used fresh rosemary since I hate the sharp leaves of the dried rosemary you get in the spice aisle and added some stock as other reviewers suggested. Covering with foil would have worked also. Nice flavor. Read More

This was very good. I used less rosemary and more garlic then the recipe called for per others' suggestions. I also put chicken broth in the pan and some extra lemon juice. We tend to like a lot of flavor so next time I'll use more rosemary. It was very juicy and tender and so healthy! Read More
