Garlic Rosemary Chicken

One of the things people should know about me is that I'm not *usually* a recipe cook. I either cook recipes that I know by heart from childhood, or I experiment. The behaviour of trying and following recipes (for cooking anyway--baking is a different story) is actually rather new for me.

So tonight was another Jen creation. I think it was pretty good.

Garlic Rosemary Chicken
Ingredients
4-6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 chicken breasts, fileted and pounded with a meat tenderizer
1 tsp butter
pepper
1/4 chopped onion
3-4 sprigs fresh rosemary

1. Filet the chicken breasts and cut the 2 halves apart. Pound with a meat tenderizer.
2. Mix garlic and butter together and distribute evenly between the 4 chicken pieces.
3. Tear up rosemary and distribute over chicken breasts.
4. Sprinkle onion over top.
5. Top with pepper.
6. Roll up and skewer to hold together.
7. Place in baking pan with a couple tablespoons of water or chicken broth in the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle more pepper, rosemary, garlic and onion over top if you wish.
8. Cover and bake at 350 for half an hour. Remove cover, brush tops with butter to brown. Bake another half an hour. Remove and serve.

I'm right there with ya Jen. I wrote down the chili recipe and the unnamed pasta recipe from memory and guestimated with some of the measurements. :-S
