Lemon Rosemary Chicken Recipe

Are you looking for a gorgeous, easy Paleo dinner recipe? This is my Lemon Rosemary Chicken Recipe. 

paleoparents1.jpg

Photography has become quite a passion of mine! I’m not always one to brag, but I’m actually very proud of these photos. I love a good cast iron skillet, and this chicken was just to die for! One thing I learned about photography is that it is all about the lighting! And it’s also about perspective. We all have our own photography style, and we are all attracted to different looks and feels of a picture. It’s hard for me to channel my creative side, but taking pictures of food seems to help! If you want to see what I’m eating daily, check out my instagram. 

This recipe is in my top 10 recipes! I personally always keep it “in rotation”, for when I need a delicious easy recipe. If you are looking for a good cast iron, here’s one from Amazon! It really is a necessity to make this dish. 

Enjoy the recipe and share with me (in the comments) your experience with it. As always follow me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter & Pinterest for some more Monica and more Paleo ideas, too!

    Looks yummy!! Great job on the pics. 🙂 Can’t wait to try it once the heat calms down in our region. Right now, I’m not inspired to cook and heat up our home even further.

    Hi, I was wondering if you used boneless chicken breast for this recipe? if so, it seems like it takes a long time to cook the chicken (8-10 on the stove then 40-45 in the oven).

    I have a short question. Do I get it correctly, I first cook it and then I bake it as well????? I am scared it would make the chicken taste dry???

    Monica,

    Are these boneless skinless chicken breasts, or bone-in skin on? Thanks!

    Hi Monica, excited to cook this recipe, but a little confused. On the Paleo parents site, the time for cooking on the stove is doubled, and the oven temp says 450. But here on your blog it says shorter time on the stove and lower temp on the oven. Am I missing something?

    Is it supposed to be 8-10 mins on the stove or 4-5?
    Is it supposed to be 450 degrees or 400?

    Thanks!
    Eliza

      Hey Eliza. I actually lowered it when I reposted this recipe on my blog. I think the way I posted it on Paleo Parents was slightly overcooked, and this was due to the oven I was using at the time (college apartment problems!). I will definitely make note of this on here so there won’t be more confusion! The verdict is 4-5 minutes on the stove and 400 degrees in the oven.

        Thanks for being so quick to respond! I went right in the middle of both times and temps and am about to pull it out of the oven now. I’m new to Paleo (literally, day one) but I love the recipes you share. Thanks so much!!!

    I was curious about how many pounds of chicken are your 4 chicken breasts? Or how many ounces per breast? For some reason all the chicken breast near me is HUGE, think almost a pound per breast :-/

      Wow! Mine are about a half a pound I’d say!
