I was inspired by this beautiful chicken recipe during my travels in Greece. The chicken is infused with herb butter from inside and out and roasted with buttery, lemony potatoes and shallots. Between the juicy chicken, herbs, baby potatoes, shallots and fresh lemon juice it’s a winner! With very little work, this delicious skillet chicken dinner can be on the table in just over an hour. Although this chicken dish is simple to prepare, it makes for an impressive Sunday night dinner. I like to serve this chicken dinner dish with steamed beans, carrots or Brussel sprouts
