About
Rosemary, Peas, Lemon Chicken. Juicy tender rosemary chicken paired with the tanginess of the lemon and the sweetness of the peas, a perfect weeknight meal.
Not having white wine on hand, I choose to create this dish with brandy. As we all know, brandy is just the perfect replacement for wine and one that is one of my favorite choices.
