Smart Chicken...It just makes good sense

As you probably have noticed, I actually love to cook chicken. Also I love herbs and especially rosemary and basil.
So today I decided to share with you my recipe I call Chef Robert's Mediterranean Chicken of Love.
The star of the dish is an awesome product I give 4 stars to, called SMART CHICKEN.


Smart Chicken is dedicated to producing the
 safest, highest quality, and best tasting 
fresh chicken in the United States.



Smart Chicken products are raised 
without animal byproducts, antibiotics,
or hormones, are 100% all-natural,
and are processed using purified cold air
instead of adding non-potable water.


So lets get cooking with my Smart Chicken!
