This is like a roast, only it uses chicken instead of beef. The rosemary gives it a sweet taste and blends well with the garlic, butter and parsley.

We tried this recipe last night without the vegetables. Absolutely the best Rosemary Chicken recipe we have ever had. Thi is a "keeper"

This was a wonderful chicken dinner! I modified it a bit and cooked it in the crockpot instead with broth and I used Nature's Seasoning in lieu of the salt and pepper. The seasoning was just right to give a mild flavor to the chicken. The veggies were great! My picky 6 year old ate them up! I will definitely make this again.

Delicious. I also filled the cavity with celery and onion. Very moist.
