Mom's Greek Lemon & Dill Chicken

You know what they say about a dish, if it's eaten with someone you love, then it will taste even better. I know my mom is a phenomenal cook, but it tasted ten times better cause we sat down and ate together. 

This recipe is a quick fix especially for cold nights! It reminds me most of my mom because I'm pretty sure she invented it.  It was always a nice surprise to come home from school and see it simmering on the stove. The aroma of the lemon and garlic you can smell first, and will have your mouth watering. Soon you will be asking "Mom, is it ready yet?"
