Grilling chicken breasts on a bed of rosemary sprigs is an effective and easy way to infuse them with flavor. Savory black olive paste, contrasted with a sweet confit of caramelized onion, provides a sophisticated finish.


READER'S COMMENT:
"I used rosemary from my garden. Also rubbed rosemary on chicken after brushing with oil. Reminded me of grilled chicken in Greece. Wonderful. "
