Lemon Rosemary Chicken
If you are looking for a quick, flavorful chicken recipe this is a great recipe to put into your dinner rotation. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but it is wonderful with any pieces you have and love. It is also very forgiving so don't worry about perfection -- just toss it together and relax.

If baking with potatoes and veggies put the root vegetables and potatoes first if using boneless, skinless chicken breasts and add tender veggies later to avoid overcooking. If using bone-in chicken you can add hardy veggies at the same time.
