Rosemary And Orange Chicken Breasts


While thumbing through a magazine at the doctor's office (my home away from home), i found this recipe. others call for whole chickens or too much rosemary, which i think overpowers most dishes it's in. i always end up leaving out most of it. this was just right, though. i wanted to post it so i didn't lose it, since i wrote it on a prescripton pad.
