CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND BASIL (KOTOPOULO LEMONATO)
One summer on a trip to visit our friends on Vancouver Island, they made this dish for us that they found in a Greek cookbook. It was so incredibly tasty that I had to bring it home with me. My family loves the carrots so much that I always put a few extra in the pan.
