Rosemary Chicken with Potatoes

This evening, I prepared Rosemary Chicken with Potatoes based off of the recipe on McCormick's card on those little packages that include all of the seasonings. Due to me being a novice, I figured, how could I screw this up when they give me everything I need?!

So this is what the end result should look like. The link under the picture will bring you directly to the recipe; however, the below are the instructions that were on the card with the seasonings that are slightly different.

I'm feeling good while I'm putting this in the oven. I'm following the directions, it's smelling good, then all of a sudden "BEEP- BEEP-BEEP!" My kids start freaking out and running and yelling "Mommy! Mommy! What's that?! It's too loud! Mommy! Mommy!" Me: "Don't worry girls, it's just mommy doing what she does... burn things..."

 After 30-40 minutes, I decided ok... It's looking good. Let's take it out...

Daa- daa-dunnnn!!!! My version fresh out the oven.

And then me and the girl's plate we shared that included some spinach.










END REVIEW: Easy, low maintenance and pretty good. However, I think it needed more than 1 tablespoon of salt. I had to add more after taking it out to taste the way I like it.  Kids ate it, so that's what's important.

Now the true test... Will the husband approve????
