I saw that this recipe was online already so I didn't copy it straight from the book. The recipe online calls for cooking sherry but I thought the book called for dry sherry. Cooking sherry would have added the salt that this lacked but I liked laying off the sodium for a change (well I dipped the chicken in Heinz 57 sauce but I would have done that anyway). I will update this with the correct version of sherry and the nutritional information as soon as I get a chance.

This chicken was very moist. I love the flavor of rosemary with chicken. I wanted to grill it outside but with the baby not feeling good, I stayed inside and used the Griddler. I think chicken stays a bit moister when I use the Griddler but I do miss the grill flavor.

Dan is still sick. Poor guy isn't getting any better. There's a bunch of stuff going around - I hope Nick isn't next.

Have a good weekend!
