Who wants an easy, one-pan chicken dinner recipe that's so tasty you may just find yourself licking all the lemony juices off your plate? Hands raise across the country.

This Greek Lemon Chicken and Potatoes has deliciously crispy skin and is cooked in a bright, lemony sauce. Take that sauce and pour it over the potatoes and watch a big smile spread across your face. For reals.

Of all the delicious food we've been eating, this Greek Lemon Chicken and Potatoes has been one of our favorites. It's simple, no-frills, feel-good food. It's back to the basics, meat and potatoes (literally) cooking. It's the kind of easy chicken dinner recipe that you will make over and over until there is no more recipe and it becomes a household staple.

We're heading into Day 15 on The Whole30 Program. It would have been Day 16, but I had a glass of wine on my very first day (go me!) so had to start over again. Halfway there!

Before I started, I read the general guidelines about what to expect at each step along the way. I thought, “How the hell do they know exactly what I'm going to feel like on Day 15? Turns out, they know everything. Or maybe I'm not as unique as I like to think I am.

From the headaches and hangover-like symptoms of the first few days to the dreaming about the food I can't eat, they've nailed it all.

Last night, I dreamed about having a cocktail. It was so vivid, as my dreams usually are. The cocktail was mezcal-based but red in color and was finished with a spritz of rose water. Don't judge … it was a dream! Clearly, Bar Chef has worked its way into my sub conscience.

I enjoyed one drink and was heading to meet my girlfriend Shantel for a few more. As I was walking out the door I remembered about this Whole30 thing and I didn't know what to do. Should I say eff it all and go for five more cocktails? Should I secretly tell no one I messed up and continue on feeling guilty? Should I own up and start over?

Seriously, this is what goes through my head at night. I can't tell you what decision I came to cause I woke up before I got there.

Anyway, back to the food. The meals I've been eating are awesome enough that if it wasn't for the lack of alcohol, I might consider this a full-time gig. I mean seriously, just look at that Greek Lemon Chicken and Potatoes?!
