For the chicken: In a medium bowl, mix together the chicken, garlic, rosemary, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
9
Add the cornmeal and toss until the chicken is coated.

Add 1/2 the chicken to the same skillet used to cook the rosemary and fry until golden and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
11
Drain on paper towels.
12
Repeat with the remaining chicken.
