Lebanese 7 Spice Chicken Marinade

Find the Spice Mix Here.

Each fortnight I look forward to this or perhaps the Lebanese Garlic Tahini Chicken, with some Tahini Bread. It’s just a firm favourite of mine. There’s something wonderful when all the spices come together with the tahini dressing.

Original Recipe can be found: Here

2 Chicken Breasts, Chopped
2 Garlic Clove, Crushed and Chopped Fine
