HOLY YUM is right!! This comes from my friends new cook book and is an all-time favorite recipe of hers and soon to be yours!

I have something so fun to share with you today!

My friend Julie wrote a book called Dinner for Two! It is based on her blog, and the book and I think it is so clever because there are tons of families that are made up of two people and it can be hard to cut recipes down. I am going to pick up a copy for my mom who is really just cooking for two most of the time, since she was already eye-balling a lamb shank recipe in there.

 

Holy Yum Chicken

 

I knew that I wanted to chose a recipe from the book to share with you and how could I not choose “Holy Yum Chicken!”? I mean- it was so obvious. This is one of the most popular recipes from Julie’s blog and I’m sure it will be a favorite amongst her book recipes too. And yum it was- and also SO EASY. This is a perfect week night dinner. We had it with roasted potatoes and green salad and the kids loved them.     Holy Yum Chicken

So below is the recipe for this wonderful chicken and then I also am giving away a copy of Julie’s Book this week! Just leave me a comment to let me know what your favorite easy weeknight meal is and you will be entered to win!

You need to respond within 24 hours or I will pick a new winner.

Holy Yum Chicken

*I have to note that in the original recipe there is 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. I added an extra tablespoon of vinegar and used apple cider vinegar. I also baked the rosemary with the chicken, and normally you would add it after the cooking. You can find the original recipe HERE.
