I'm back at it again...! Garlic Roasted Chicken

Here I go again!  Its been way over a year since my last post so I thought it was time to give this blogging thing another shot.  In the last year, we've managed to move back to Minnesota, buy a house, and adopt a puppy!  Its been a crazy ride but now that we are settling down, I've had the opportunity to start enjoying cooking again.  There hasn't been anything to exciting on our menu lately but i'm excited to get back into this and share with you some of our latest recipes :)   I have managed to collect a few more cookbooks over the last year and am finally cracking them open to try some new dishes.  Last week we tried Garlic Roasted Chicken. It was fairly simple but so flavorful and great for a quick, after-work meal.  So here's what you need:

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
Salt and Pepper
2 heads of garlic (this seems  is a lot, but this is where the flavor comes from!)
4 sprigs of rosemary
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1.)  Preheat your oven to 425.  Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Season your chicken with salt and pepper and cook until it starts to brown, only about 5 minutes.

2.)  Separate the heads of garlic into cloves, but do NOT peel.  Flip the chicken and brown the other side for a few more minutes.  Add the rosemary and garlic and transfer to a oven safe baking dish.  Roast in oven for about 20 more minutes until cooked through.  

3.) Once the Chicken is baked fully, drain any juices from pan into a small saucepan and add the vinegar and 3 tablespoons of water and simmer until sauce thickens about 2 minutes.  Pour the sauce and garlic over chicken and serve with a fresh french baguette and salad. 

Squeeze the garlic out of its skin and spread it on your bread.  It tastes super yummy, especially when its smothered in butter :)  Enjoy!
