Lemon Rosemary Chicken
Just in case you are wondering, Lemon Rosemary Chicken is what I dream of.
Lemon Rosemary Chicken
is light, a plate of summer perfection. Glazed, grilled chicken, fresh roasted veggies; broccoli, zucchini, summer squash, and red peppers, or whatever you like. Chicken breast is marinated in Olive Garden Salad Dressing, then grilled and then the chicken and dressing are all added to the skillet with the veggies and it’s soooo amazing! Sometimes I add asparagus, carrots, sliced cabbage, veggies in season. Fresh lemon, rosemary and Parmesan cheese, are a must though, making a dish you can serve all when entertaining. It’s easy to fix for a crowd too. Marinate and grill the chicken ahead of time. Just before serving, cook the veggies, add the chicken and dressing and warm it all together and serve.
Well it’s just, you got it, all of my favorite flavors arranged on a bed of angel-hair pasta. I ignore the pasta part, as the rest is low-carb. My husband can indulge, enjoying bread and pasta to his hearts content. Maybe in the next life things will be different….
Oh, don’t get me wrong, I don’t even miss the carbs and you won’t either!
Lemon Rosemary Chicken
Dressed up grilled chicken, Lemon Rosemary Chicken is absolutely one of my favorite ways to combine pasta and veggies for a delightful meal.

This looks just wonderful, and with fresh Rosemary for the snipping and a wonderful block of parmesan in the fridge, it is quite ‘doable’! We’ve got company from Denmark and this looks like something that would please everyone.
I haven’t made the O.G. dressing yet! I need to remember to do that, and this is a good reminder. This looks just fabulous. I think I will do it this way this weekend. We always grill out on Saturday night.
(And I’m right there with ya on the carbs.
And I’m really glad you are blogging some recipes!!
Looks gorgeous and I’m sure it’s very tasty! I love rosemary and have a huge bush in the yard. Thanks for the tip about the kabob rack, it might just be my next kitchen toy:@)
That looks like a hearty and satisfying dish without the pasta. I don’t think I would miss it at all. Your OG recipe is sitting on my kitchen counter just waiting to be made up. What a great marinade for the chicken.
Looks AMAZING! Love fresh summer dishes like this that make use of all of the great fresh produce that’s out there right now! (Still waiting for my garden to produce so I can pick it from my backyard!)
