Rosemary Winter Chicken

Rosemary Winter Chicken is a go-to when you are looking for satisfying cold weather comfort with complex flavour that is loaded with nutrition but is easy to prep. Too good to be true? There is more: the ingredients are inexpensive, fresh and seasonal and it cooks up in only one casserole dish. Bonus: you will love the fragant rosemary as it fills your kitchen while the meal is cooking...soooo wonderful! Serving suggestion is a side of mashed potatoes made with broth instead of heavy butter or milk - the sauce from the dish will bring all the flavour.
