that bright zesty flavor that really
1:04
elevates the dish good quality olive oil

garlic because nothing beats the pungent
1:14
aroma and flavor of freshly minced

garlic and finally fresh herbs rosemary

before we get to the marinade let's prep
1:25
the chicken pound the chicken to an even
1:28
thickness this ensures it cooks
