Kotopoulo Hilopites Chicken With Noodles, Greek style. This was the first dinner we ate in our new house and the one we served to Larry's family on Christmas Eve, so you know it's special to us. Believe it or not, this is the reduced fat and cholesterol version, (skinless chicken, more olive oil, less butter) so we can't have it often.
