Roast Jalapeno Cilantro and Garlic Chicken Breasts Recipe
Roasting chicken never really gets old for me the house smells amazing, the flavor combinations are endless, the crispy skin (yum!), and the fact that I can use it all week make me a huge fan of this simple meal. Normally I choose to flavor my chicken with lemon and herbs, but last week I wanted something a little spicy and decided to stuff some cilantro, jalapeno, and garlic compound butter under the skins. The result was a delicious and easy roasted chicken that is full of flavor. Adjust the amount of garlic and jalapeno you use to fit your own personal tastes and make up a big batch so you have plenty of chicken leftover
