Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken Breasts

Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken Breasts

Marinated Overnight for Incredible Flavor

There’s something special about a simple grilled chicken dinner on a summer evening. After marinating overnight in my Rosemary Thyme Lemon Herb Dressing, these thin-sliced chicken breasts become tender, juicy, and full of fresh herb flavor. They cook in just minutes, making them perfect for busy weeknights or weekend gatherings on the deck.

Ingredients

For the Chicken

* 4 thin-sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Rosemary Thyme Lemon Herb Dressing & Marinade

* ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

* ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

* 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

* 1 teaspoon honey

* 2 cloves garlic, minced

* 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

* 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped

* 1 tablespoon fresh chives or green onion tops, finely chopped

* 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

* 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary

* ½ teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)

* ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade

1. In a small bowl or mason jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, parsley, dill, chives, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Marinate the Chicken

2. Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow glass dish.

3. Pour the marinade over the chicken, coating each piece well.

4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Overnight marinating produces the best flavor and tenderness.

Grill

5. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before grilling.

6. Preheat your Char-Broil grill to medium-high heat.

7. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the used marinade.

8. Grill for approximately 4–5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken and the temperature of your grill. Thin-sliced chicken cooks quickly, so watch carefully.

9. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

10. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Rosemary Thyme Tips

🌿 Thin-sliced chicken breasts stay especially juicy when marinated overnight.

🌿 Fresh herbs make a noticeable difference, especially during the summer when they’re growing right outside the back door.

🌿 This recipe pairs beautifully with Herb Garden Potato Salad, grilled vegetables, fresh corn on the cob, or a crisp green salad.

🌿 Rosemary Thyme Fall Harvest Sheet Pan Dinner

#WalmartPartner — As a Walmart Creator, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through my Walmart links.

A cool autumn evening calls for a cozy dinner! 🍂 This sheet pan meal brings together chicken, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash in a honey-Dijon dressing with cinnamon and herbs. Cranberries add a little sweetness, and toasted walnuts give each serving a satisfying crunch.

🌿 RosemaryThyme Fall Harvest Sheet Pan Dinner

INGREDIENTS

• 1 bag Great Value Frozen Butternut Squash Cubes, 10 oz
• 1 bag Great Value Frozen Diced Sweet Potatoes, 10 oz
• 1 package Perdue Harvestland Raw Diced Chicken Breast, thawed if frozen
• ¼ cup Great Value Dried Cranberries
• 1 teaspoon RosemaryThyme House Seasoning Blend
• 1 teaspoon Great Value Ground Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Great Value Honey
• 2 tablespoons Great Value Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoons Great Value Dijon Mustard
• ¼ cup Great Value Walnuts, toasted and chopped

DIRECTIONS

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly grease your cast-iron sheet pan.
Place the still-frozen butternut squash and sweet potato cubes on the pan with the thawed raw diced chicken.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, Dijon mustard, RosemaryThyme seasoning blend, and cinnamon.
Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetables. Toss gently to coat, then spread everything into one uncrowded layer.
Roast for approximately 25 minutes, gently turning halfway through. Begin checking for doneness at 20 minutes. Cooking times are approximate because ovens and ingredient sizes vary. Always use a food thermometer to confirm the chicken reaches 165°F in the center of several of the largest pieces. The vegetables should be fork-tender.
Stir in the dried cranberries during the final 5 minutes of roasting.
Sprinkle the toasted, chopped walnuts over the finished dinner and serve warm.

RECIPE NOTES

🍂 Keep the vegetables frozen until you’re ready to prepare the meal.

🍂 Give everything room to roast. If your sheet pan is crowded, divide the ingredients between two pans.

🍂 If the chicken reaches 165°F before the vegetables are tender, transfer it to a clean plate while the vegetables finish cooking.

🍂 Add the already-toasted walnuts after roasting to keep them from scorching.

A little RosemaryThyme note 🌿

Dinner doesn’t have to be complicated to feel special. A pan filled with autumn flavors, a warm kitchen, and a few quiet moments around the table make a lovely ending to the day.

🌿 Rosemary Thyme Vegetable Beef Noodle Soup

#WalmartPartner — As a Walmart Creator, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through my Walmart links.

🍂 A cool Friday afternoon calls for a warm pot of soup simmering on the stove.

🌿 Rosemary Thyme Vegetable Beef Noodle Soup

Today I pulled out my Dutch oven and made this simple, comforting soup with vegetables, Amish egg noodles, and my Rosemary Thyme House Blend. Beef broth and tomato paste make a flavorful base, and the herbs bring everything together. An easy way to settle into a cozy evening at home. 💛

🥕 Ingredients

• 1 (32-ounce) container unsalted beef broth
• 1 (6-ounce) can Hunt’s No Salt Added Tomato Paste
• 4 cups water
• 3 cups Great Value Frozen Mixed Vegetables
• 2 teaspoons Rosemary Thyme House Blend Seasoning
• 2 cups Essenhaus Amish Egg Noodles, uncooked

🍲 Directions

Pour the beef broth into a Dutch oven and stir in the tomato paste. Warm over medium heat, stirring until the tomato paste is fully blended.
Add the water, frozen mixed vegetables, Rosemary Thyme House Blend, and egg noodles. Stir gently.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the noodles and vegetables are tender. Use the noodle package’s cooking time as a guide.
Ladle into bowls and enjoy a little comfort on a cool autumn afternoon.

🌿 Rosemary Thyme House Blend

Mix together:
• 1 teaspoon powdered rosemary
• 1 teaspoon powdered thyme
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

Use 2 teaspoons of the prepared blend in this soup. Store the remaining seasoning in an airtight jar.

📝 Recipe Notes

• The beef flavor comes from the broth; this recipe has no added beef.
• The noodles absorb broth as the soup stands. Add a little water or unsalted beef broth when reheating, as needed.
• The house blend contains no added salt.

💛 A little RosemaryThyme note

A comforting meal doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes a Dutch oven, a few pantry staples, and the smell of herbs drifting through the kitchen are just what we need to welcome the weekend.

Fall In Love With Home Again 💛🏡

🍂 Fall’s Embrace: Why I Adore This Season 🍂

I am blessed to live in a place where I can experience the changing seasons. I have always loved January, with the beautiful glistening blanket of snow covering the frozen ground. I love spring, when the flower bulbs begin emerging from the earth, and summer, when I can listen to baseball while grilling dinner and watching my vegetables and herbs grow.

But the season that seems to touch my heart — and all of my senses — most deeply is autumn.

As a little girl, I remember looking out our picture window and seeing the brick Cape Cod-style houses along our street decorated with mums and pumpkins on their front porches. The street was ablaze with red and sugar maples dressed in brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red.

Later, as a high school student, marching band made fall especially exciting. I looked forward to learning our new music, marching in parades, and performing at football games beneath those cool autumn skies.

Home, though, was perhaps the most treasured part of fall.

There were morning breakfasts of hot oatmeal and coffee percolating on the stove. Pots of chili and stew returned to our evening meals, along with Sunday roasts. Favorite television shows came back with new seasons, and the house somehow seemed warmer and cozier as the days grew shorter.

And then there were the holidays.

I loved helping my mother decorate and prepare our favorite recipes. We grocery shopped and stocked our pantry with everything we would need for the weeks ahead. I still remember my mother, father, and me filling three grocery carts and thinking that a $135 grocery bill was absolutely exorbitant! 😊

Autumn is a time I cherish for its crisp air, trees that look as though they have been hand-painted in vibrant shades of yellow, orange, red, and purple, cozy dark evenings with candles glowing, a warm fireplace crackling, and the comforting aroma of a pot of chili simmering on the stove.

Maybe that is why I love autumn so deeply.

It carries with it pieces of every season of my life — childhood memories, family traditions, the comfort of home, and the quiet reminder that there is beauty in change.

Here at Rosemary Thyme, we’re wishing you a cozy, warm, and colorful autumn filled with joy, beautiful memories, and all the little comforts that make a house feel like home. 🍁🏡💛

Apple Cider Mimosa Mocktail

#WalmartPartner — As a Walmart Creator, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through my Walmart links.

🍎🥂 Rosemary Thyme Apple Cider Mimosa Mocktail

A little sparkle, a touch of cinnamon, and the lovely flavor of apples—this alcohol-free mimosa is a beautiful way to celebrate autumn! Serve it for a cozy weekend brunch or add a festive touch to your Thanksgiving table. 🍂💛

INGREDIENTS
Makes 1 serving

• 4 ounces Martinelli’s Sparkling Apple Cider, well chilled
• 3 ounces natural apple cider, chilled
• 1 tablespoon Great Value Brown Sugar or Granulated Sugar
• ¼ teaspoon Great Value Ground Cinnamon
• A little extra apple cider for moistening the rim
• Optional: a thin apple slice for garnish

DIRECTIONS

Mix the brown sugar or granulated sugar with the cinnamon on a small plate. Brown sugar adds a warm, caramel-like flavor.
Dip the rim of a champagne glass into a little apple cider, then gently dip it into the cinnamon sugar.
Pour 3 ounces of chilled natural apple cider into the prepared glass.
Slowly add 4 ounces of well-chilled Martinelli’s Sparkling Apple Cider.
Add a thin apple slice, if desired, and serve immediately while the bubbles are lively!

RECIPE NOTES

🍎 Choose a champagne glass that holds at least 8 ounces to allow room for the bubbles.

🍎 For a lighter touch of sweetness, coat just half the rim.

🍎 If serving several guests, prepare the rims ahead and add the sparkling cider just before serving.

🍁 RosemaryThyme Sweet Potato & Maple Walnut Crockpot Oatmeal

• 1 cup cooked, mashed sweet potatoes, prepared from Great Value Frozen Diced Sweet Potatoes, 10-ounce bag
• 2 cups water
• 2 cups bettergoods Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk
• 2 tablespoons Great Value Pure Maple Syrup
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, optional
• ½ cup Great Value walnuts, chopped and toasted

🌿 Directions

Cook the frozen diced sweet potatoes according to the package directions until tender. Mash and measure 1 cup for the recipe.
Lightly grease the inside of a small, approximately 3-quart crockpot.
Add the oats, mashed sweet potatoes, water, almondmilk, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and optional ginger. Stir well.
Cover and cook on LOW for approximately 2–3 hours, checking at 2 hours. The oatmeal is ready when the oats are tender and creamy.

Stir the oatmeal and add a splash of almondmilk if needed. Spoon into bowls and top with toasted walnuts. Add a small drizzle of maple syrup if you like.

🍂 Notes & Tips

• Use old-fashioned oats for this recipe; steel-cut oats need a different cooking time and liquid amount.
• Measure the sweet potatoes after cooking and mashing, since the yield from the bag may vary.
• Add the walnuts at serving time to keep their lovely crunch.
• Crockpots vary, so check early the first time you make it.

I Fell in Love with Home Again,

🙏🍁Sunday Reflection-I Fell in Love with Home Again 🏠 ❤️

📖 Scripture

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”
— Ecclesiastes 3:1

There was a time in my life when I looked forward to every holiday with childlike excitement.

Years ago, Dennis and I dreamed about opening a little bed-and-breakfast at the Lake of the Ozarks. We imagined welcoming guests, serving homemade breakfasts, decorating for every season, and creating a place where people could make happy family memories.

Life had other plans.

We raised our family.

We cared for our pets.

We worked hard.

And sometimes the dreams we carry quietly wait while we faithfully live the season we’re in.

Then our family changed.

When my daughter left, the holidays became quieter. If I’m honest, my excitement for decorating, planning recipes, and celebrating was gently tucked away for a while. I found myself looking backward more than forward.

But God wasn’t finished writing the story.

Without realizing it, something beautiful began to happen.

I planted herbs.

I baked bread.

I started sharing recipes.

I gathered stories.

I set the table.

I watched Dennis and Zach become part of Rosemary Thyme.

One day I caught myself planning autumn recipes months in advance. I couldn’t wait to decorate for fall. I found myself looking forward to uncovering my dining room table again, setting out my seasonal dishes, arranging my favorite centerpieces, and preparing for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Then it hit me.

Somewhere along the way…I fell in love with home again.

Not because life had returned to what it once was.

It hadn’t.

But because God had gently shown me that every season has its own beauty if we’re willing to receive it.

This autumn, I’m choosing to look forward instead of backward.

There will always be memories I treasure.

There will always be people I miss.

But there are also pumpkins still to decorate with…

Bread still to bake…

Tables still to set…

Candles still to light…

Recipes still to share…

And holidays still waiting to be celebrated.

As I’ve shared my heart here at Rosemary Thyme, I’ve realized something beautiful.

Many of us who gather around this table are in the same season of life.

We’ve celebrated weddings.

We’ve raised children.

We’ve said goodbye to parents.

We’ve watched our families grow and change.

We’ve carried joys that are almost impossible to describe…and losses that are difficult to put into words.

By this season of life, we carry so much inside us.

So many memories.

So many feelings.

So many stories.

Perhaps that’s why home means even more now than it once did.

And maybe that’s why we need one another.

Not because we have all the answers…

But because we understand.

If you’re reading this today, I hope you know something.

Your memories still matter.

Your home still matters.

Your traditions still matter.

And no matter what this season of life has looked like…

There is still beauty ahead.

So this autumn, let’s look forward together.

Let’s light the candle.

Let’s bake the bread.

Let’s set the table.

Let’s welcome another season with grateful hearts.

And together…

Let’s fall in love with home again. 🏡🍂

If you’ve found yourself looking more toward yesterday than tomorrow, I hope you’ll join me this fall.

Let’s welcome this new season with grateful hearts.

Let’s celebrate the simple gift of home.

And together…

Let’s fall in love with home again. 🏡🍂

🙏 Blessing

May God fill your home with His peace, your table with grateful hearts, and this new season with fresh hope. May He help each of us see the beauty He is creating today while giving thanks for the memories that brought us here. Amen.
