Rosemary and Orange Chicken Breasts image

While thumbing through a magazine at the doctor's office (my home away from home), I found this recipe. Others call for whole chickens or too much rosemary, which I think overpowers most dishes it's in. I always end up leaving out most of it. This was just right, though. I wanted to post it so I didn't lose it, since I wrote it on a prescripton pad.
