Italian Rosemary Chicken

Rosemary is said to grow only in the gardens of the righteous. In Hamlet, Ophelia said: There's rosemary, that's for remembrance." Once you have cooked with rosemary, you will never forget this herb. Start your meal with an antipasto salad and serve the chicken with Italian risotto.
