How to Make Greek Lemon Chicken:

Add the butter to a frying pan and let it melt over medium heat. Sauté chicken until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to 3-quart casserole and surround with the potatoes.

Drizzle the mixture with the lemon juice and hot water and then sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
