A little bit extra

The tahini gives this dish a lovely, mild nutty flavour which makes it a little different to your standard chicken dish. It really doesn’t take long at all to prepare and was lovely served with potatoes and green beans. So easy that it can be a mid-week meal, or if not use this recipe to change things up for Friday night dinner. Tahini is full of nutritional goodness – it is a great source of fat and iron. It is so versatile – it can be used in dressings and sauces for chicken and salads and is obviously used for humous.
