[ RECIPE ] Rosemary Chicken with Tomato Sauce

I absolutely love Rosemary! It’s beautifully fragrant and can transform a dish from something ordinary to something really fresh and exciting. I want to share this recipe with you because it is a favourite of mine and very easy to do, especially if you keep the basics in your cupboards, you shouldn’t need to buy many of the ingredients (which is always a plus!).

I’m also sharing this as it’s an Italian recipe and I love Italian food. It’s all about fresh ingredients so make sure you keep that in mind when you’re out shopping. It’s definitely one of my favourite types of cuisine! 

Enjoy!
