Greek Chicken Lemono
We call this Greek Chicken because the recipe mimics one of the great Greek offerings from Greektown in Chicago; that wonderful group of restaurants on Rancine that offers superb Greek cuisine. Anyway, the kids came for dinner on Sunday and we usually do ribs but for a change I thought I would make the chicken. Even though the chicken breasts are skinless they maintain their moisture throughout the cooking process.
With the spinach hidden inside this is a good way to get those veggies into the kids without forcing the issue.
