This Rosemary Lemon Chicken has become my go to dinner dish this summer. In fact, I’ve been making it a couple of times a week and loving it, as has my family –children included. It’s super easy to make, very healthy and fabulously fresh and delicious with hints of garlic, lemon and rosemary complementing the flavor of grilled chicken.

I love to make this gluten free chicken recipe along with some grilled zucchini and other summer squash. Stay tuned, as I’ll be posting my delicious recipe for grilled zucchini next. Quite necessary, I think, as the attack of zucchini is rapidly approaching those of us with backyard gardens!
I’ll be in Davis, California for my 25th High School Reunion this weekend and I’ll be doing a signing for my book, The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook
, this Thursday, August 5th at The Avid Reader at 7:30pm PST and another at the Davis Lutheran Church (Fellowship Hall) on Saturday, August 7th from 12-3pm PST. Hope to see you there!

Instead of grilling, can you bake in oven? If so, what temperature do you recommend and how long? Thank you!
Elana says
Ashley, I haven’t tried that so not sure –if you experiment I hope you’ll share your results along with the cook time :-)
Aubrey says
Don’t know how I missed this recipe on the website, but I bought your book and found it there.
Your cookbook is FANTASTIC!
I measured out all the ingredients and prepped the chicken in the dish. My 4yr old and 5yr old sons did the rest. They felt so accomplished making the marinade and devoured the chicken after we grilled it. Your recipes taste delicious, are so healthy and easy enough to allow me to include my children in on the prep. So AWESOME!
Elana says
Aubrey, thanks so much for your kind words and glad to hear the cookbook is FANTASTIC and that you and your children are enjoying it :-)
Susan says
This was very tasty! My 5 year old kept asking for more. Will become a staple for us. Thank you very much!
Elana says
So glad you and yours enjoyed this recipe Susan!
Rebecca says
Wonderful but needs a hint of sweetness. Will make again with some honey or agave. Stay tuned.

The chicken is marinating in the fridge now. Excited to grill it up for dinner later tonight. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts & added the zest if two lemons.
Noticed you’re a Davis native.. So am i, such an exciting coincidence :)
Lindsay says
WOW! This was SO good. I used a mixture of lime and lemon juice, so I added 1 T. of tequila (what? it reminded me of a margarita :p) I also used dried rosemary instead, and let it marinate in the fridge for 3.5 hours. SO Simple SO delicious. Elana, you’ve done it again!
Darcie says

Hi Elana, I know what a pantry is but my 7 year old daughter (she says she’s not 7, she’s 6 but she will be 7 soon!) wants to know why you call your blog Elana’s pantry. I’ve told her its because pantry is like a food store but she wants to hear from you :-). Thanks for your wonderful recipes – you’ve brought gluten-free alive for me!
