This simple chicken recipe is easy and flavorful. The garlic, lemon, mustard, and rosemary marinade blend for a nice fresh flavor. This simple summer grilling recipe can easily be a mainstay of your menu. Add a salad or vegetables and your dinner is complete.
I have my live rosemary bush in the flower bed by my front door and love the scent of fresh rosemary. You can use dried rosemary for the dish also. Rosemary and lemon have such a lively scent and flavor. They are two of my favorite ingredients in cooking.

…rosemary is something that I never have.
I’ve done something like this with rosemary with lemon. It taste so great. Rosemary is very important in my spaghetti sauce.

I also love rosemary – it is amazing isn’t it? Have a great day Paul.
We love chicken — those sound great!
Another great recipe. I am stepping away from red meat for the most part. And all of the different chicken recipes are welcome. Thanks for sharing. We use our grill year-round here.
I’m not a big fan of rosemary, but this does look delicious.
Rosemary can be a little too strong in flavour for my liking, however the overall combination of flavours makes this a really interesting dish, so I would probably include it. I always choose skinless, boneless fillets of chicken anyway!
Looks lovely 🙂
