There are some days where I wish it was summer and you could grill out and have all those summery flavors for dinner. However, living in Ohio, that’s not always possible! :)
I found this recipe the other day which consisted of grilling out and I thought, why can’t you just make it indoors and have it taste JUST as amazing? And BOY did it! This is SUCH a flavorful recipe that I cannot wait to have again! We had some chicken legs and thighs in the freezer, so we thought we’d pull them out and give this recipe a whirl! :) It’s SOOOO good and SOOOO simple that I cannot wait to have it again! We also made our Roasted Cabbage to go along with this meal! ENJOY!
Ingredients:
- 8 pieces of chicken legs and thighs, (you could use breasts)
- 1/8 c dried parsley
- 1/8 c dried basil
- 1/8 c dried rosemary
- 1/8 c dried thyme plus extra
- 3-5 cloves garlic
- zest of one lemon
- juice of one lemon
- Dijon mustard
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 8 Roma tomatoes
- Parmesan Cheese for topping tomatoes
Directions:
- In a bowl, mix your 1/8 c of each of your herbs. Add 3 cloves of garlic, the zest of one lemon, juice of one lemon , a healthy spoonful of Dijon mustard, salt and pepper; mix. Then add in some olive oil until you get a paste consistency.
- Rub “paste” all over chicken (both sides), then add chicken to a skillet with olive oil to begin the cooking process.
- Cook chicken until juices run clear and is no longer pink (about 35-45 minutes).
- While the chicken is cooking, cut your tomatoes in half to lay them on a foil lined cooking sheet.
- Top with crushed garlic, olive oil, and thyme and roast for 40-50 minutes.
- When tomatoes are finished roasting, top with parmesan cheese!

Second Thought…but most call me Jess. :) Why "Plucky" you may ask? Well, it was
a nickname when I was younger and it was one that was never forgotten! ... 
Hi Plucky, Glad you liked it, I'm going to take your advice and try it in the oven next time, it's way to cold to grill out now!
It really was delicious though! :) Definitely a fav recipe of mine now! :)
Hi Jess, Thanks for stopping and linking up to my party. I hope to see you every Thursday. I saw on your Etsy shop you are in Mansfield, I am in Canton. Nice to meet a fellow Ohioian!
