Now that you have grown a few herbs, you may be wondering what to do with them. This rosemary chicken recipe that I found on www.cooks.com is a great recipe for using your fresh rosemary.
To harvest your rosemary, or most any culinary herb for that matter, be sure and harvest just before the buds open if possible. This is when the concentration of essential oils is greatest. Of course, you may harvest most anytime, especially rosemary, by simply snipping a few fresh stems that are about 6 inches long throughout the growing season. Use fresh or hang to dry.
To use rosemary in dishes, snip a branch, rinse off and pat dry. Then, pull off the leaves and chop well.
I hope you enjoy the recipe for Rosemary Chicken below!
