Description

The earthy tones of the legendary za’atar spices—think sesame, herbs and lemon—ground this dish. Get further into a Middle Eastern mode with a touch of tahini. The rich sesame paste swirls around with apple cider vinegar, garlic, honey and plentiful parsley to make a lip-smacking, herb-speckled sauce. Serve it over seared-to-tender chicken breasts, which you’ll plate with golden-roasted Brussels sprouts and diced beets hot from the oven.
