Rosemary-Garlic Baked Chicken Breast

Submitted by: CHRSTINAG
Rosemary-Garlic Baked Chicken Breast

Introduction

I can't take credit for this recipe, as it is originally from Weight Watchers Simply Delicious cookbook. I changed it slightly in that I use boneless/skinless chicken breast in favor of a bone-in variety. Personally, I prefer a little less vinegar and a tad more mustard, but you can play around with the recipe to your taste preference.

    Great recipe! I took out the onion completely and used garlic powder instead of garlic cloves, and it was delicious. I use "pre-trimmed" chicken breasts. They're already thin and most of the fat is trimmed off, so I only baked it for about 30-5 minutes. - 11/11/11

    Also made with Balsamic instead of red wine. My chicken breasts were huge, so I covered baking dish with foil for 1/2 an hour and then removed the foil and baked for another 1/2 hour. Came out very tender & juicy. I will definitely make this again & the leftover chicken will be great in other dishes - 9/26/11

    I can't rate this recipe because I'm trying it tonight, but I did want to tell you all that you can do a variation of this on your George Foreman grill and have dinner in minutes.
    Mix the rosemary, olive oil, fresh garlic and some balsamic vinegar and pour over the top of your chicken.Grill it! - 1/18/11

    Pretty good. I think it might have been even better if I had marinated the chicken first. I used balsamic vinegar, regular salt, and sliced the onions in rings (makes them easier to remove from the kids' plates). I needed to increase the cooking time to 1 hour. Thanks! - 11/14/10

    Tried this with the oriinal ingredients. It is a keeper because my 3yr old who is picky actually ate it!!. I'm going to try with less vinegar and balsamic as I like my chicken darker and less acidic. - 8/14/10

    Loved it! Our chicken was pretty thick so it took a long time (1 hr. 20 minutes), but so tasty and well worth the wait! - 4/12/12

    Pretty good. I replaced the rosemary with thyme, made it with chicken breasts, replaced the dijon with spicy mustard, and the red wine vinegar with balsamic. Came out nicely. - 4/1/12

    I marinated the chicken in the sauce for about 2 hours and i browned it before baking it at 400 for about 30 minutes. I also made it with balsamic vinegar. A little dry but very good. I will make it again but i will cut the baking time. Thanks !! - 2/26/12

    I also used balsamic. It was a little strong, would use less vinegar next time. All in all, still good. - 2/21/12

    My family LOVED this! My hubby said it was the best chicken he had ever tasted. We happened to have fresh rosemary in our herb garden, so I used it instead of the dried. It was very fragrant when I was cutting it, so it may have changed the flavor a bit. - 8/31/11

    I made this with balsamic vinegar instead (just because that is what I had in the cupboard) and without the rosemary (because I didn't have any) and it was still delicious. - 6/9/11

    I will definitely be making this again. I substituted the red wine vinegar for 3 parts actual red wine and 1 part balsamic vinegar... and I doubled the sauce recipe. Next time I will triple! I like having extra sauce. I also used fresh rosemary chopped small, but next time need to grind smaller. - 5/25/11
