I am always on the look out for new ways to cook chicken like this Creamy Lemon Rosemary Chicken. I love that chicken is something that can be used with just about any flavor combination.
This is a skillet version with incorporates 2 flavors that are oven used when roasting chicken – lemon and rosemary. However, cream is also aded in to the mix to make a rich creamy sauce. This delicious sauce makes it perfect to serve this chicken along with hot cooked pasta or rice. My personal preference is pasta.
This dish also comes together in about 30 minutes. With the exception of cooking the pasta, the rest of this dish is all made in one pan.
