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.
