Directions
Lemon Chicken With Basil (Greece), The original of this recipe, which I managed to tweak slightly, came from the 1995 cookbook Greek Cooking The combinaton of these three ingredients makes this a flavorful meal , I was in a bit of a rush last nite, but really wanted to try this It really didn’t seem to take any longer than stated Also, I was thinking I had lemons, but I DID NOT! So to make the great sounding sauce, used lime juice instead Didn’t add the sugar but I will try it next time(Just to try-it was GREAT without) Everyone in my house was SO HAPPY they waited for me to cook this! THANKS SO MUCH!!, Loved the aroma of this chicken dish! Basil, lemon, and bay leaf-yum! The vegetables were delicious, but I think that the chicken should be checked sooner than 35 minutes as it was a bit dry Maybe 20 minutes?
