Friday Feast - Paleo Orange-Rosemary Chicken & Roasted Grape Tomatoes

Paleo Orange-Rosemary Chicken

Its Friday so here is another quick Paleo meal that was super easy to knock out.  The prep was fast the longest step in the process is the baking, which was really only about 30 minutes.  You can try some experiments with the tomatoes that I thought of after dinner, of adding fresh basil to them or possibly using them with some mozzarella.  Let me know if you tried them and how they worked out.  Also, you may want to think about cutting the tomatoes in half, I had one explode on me when I stuck my fork into it.   PS word of caution don’t zest to deep into the orange like I did it is more of a bitter taste, a little zest goes a long way.
