374-Potato Crusted Lemon Chicken, Bacon, Shallots, Basil

Here is a simple recipe that produces amazing results. Takes less then 30 minutes start to finish. It comes with a jazzy lemon sauce that is bright yet rich...a show stopper! I strongly prefer chicken thighs for this one, chicken breasts are, well....dry! Stick to the thighs but also note that I prefer boneless skinless thighs.
