*Don’t forget to comment on this post with a recipe or key ingredient you think I should try next week!*
I was intrigued by all the yummy veggies in Kelly’s recipe, but what sealed the deal for me was the ease of the recipe. You guys know I love easy, peasy dinners!
After work, I swung by the grocery store to pick up the necessary ingredients as well as my weekly essentials.
I arrived home to my sick fiancé and crazy dog. Poor Ryan stayed home from work today because he’s not feeling so hot. This dinner seemed like the perfect dish of comfort food for a sick boy and I figured it was good night to try out this warm and nutritious meal. Let’s hope it helps him get healthy fast!
Dinner came together quickly, and after a few minutes of slicing and dicing, the chicken and veggies were a-roastin’!
Rosemary Chicken + Roasted Veggies
Rosemary Sprigs
My favorite part of this dish was the roasted zucchini. The combination of the veggie with the olive oil and sweetness of the rosemary made it taste phenomenal.

Ryan and I both enjoyed second helpings of this dinner. Ryan said we should make thie recipe again if only for the smell. The rosemary made our whole apartment smell fantastic!
I also enjoyed a small bottle of POM Wonderful pomegranate juice with dinner for some added sweetness.

I’m going to throw out the Salsa Chicken and Black Bean soup again, just because it’s so good! So good that I just made it today, in fact…haha. Make sure to blend a little bit of it to make it slightly creamy.

Looks delicious! I wish Sean liked veggies. He doesn’t though. So, I make kid-friendly dishes for him. Like Wednesday night, I’m making Sloppy Joes. I need to cook some recipes for him from that book deceptively delicious or whatever…where pureed veggies are snuck into foods! haha.
Yum, that chicken looks sooooo good!
That really does look super easy and delicious! Something about real rosemary sprigs always looks so gourmet to me too.
I love the smell of rosemary too! It is great with roast chicken! Delish meal =)
