I always make sure that I have a breast or two of this herb roasted chicken in my fridge. It is a fast and convenient way to have chicken on hand for putting into sandwiches, salads, pastas, etc… the options are truly endless.
Roasting the chicken is a healthy, no fuss way to cook chicken. The meat comes out soft and tender. The herb crust that I put on the chicken is to give a great herbaceous flavor to the meat.
