Serve this easy and nourishing chicken dinner with steamed green beans or steamed kale over a bed of basmati rice. For a keto or low-carb option, serve over riced cauliflower. I also like to serve this dish with a bright and flavorful green salad such as the Spring Detox Salad with a citrus dressing. 

Ingredients
2 pounds bone-in chicken breasts
2 pounds bone-in chicken legs
½ teaspoons sea salt
½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
6 cloves garlic crushed
½ cups pitted green olives
5 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 large lemons
½ cups butter melted
