Hey Paleo Parents Readers! I’m Monica Bravo from Bravo For Paleo, and today I’d love to share with you one of my favorite Paleo dishes that I like to call my Lemon Rosemary Chicken Recipe. This recipe will surely bring some great smells into your kitchen, and if you want to impress someone with a great-looking dish, this one’s for you!

Lemon Chicken WORDS

Sundays at my apartment are food-prep days. I plan my meals, grocery shop, and cook dishes ahead of time. After weeks of making plain baked chicken, vegetables, and sweet potatoes. I decided to give my chicken a bit of a makeover, and this recipe came about. Lemon Rosemary Chicken is simple to throw in the oven, and will give you four great meals for the week.

As a college student, I try to aim at making my meals time-efficient, not too expensive, but still delicious. This recipe fits all three categories! My ultimate goal is to help college students eat healthier, and live better. The problem is knowledge of what actually is healthy and then how to cook it. In the fall I will be releasing an eBook with everything a college student needs to know to eat healthier. If you want to hear more about my eBook and my cause, sign up for my email list!
