The mediterranean sea is surrounded by a million great cuisines, and they all seem to share a similar freshness in ingredients in flavors. This recipe uses za'atar, garlic, lemon, and yogurt to make a marinade that tenderizes and flavors your chicken breast. If you have never tried it before, za'atar is a spice mixture from the middle east that is a blend of sesame, sumac, and other spices like thyme, oregano, and more. It's aromatic, earthy, and a delicious way to season your food without using a large amount of salt. You can find za'atar blends in many quality grocery stores, as well as at lake geneva country meats, where we carry the urban accents marrakesh za'atar blend. What really makes this recipe complete, however, is the fresh tomato cucumber salad that is served alongside the chicken. If you have fresh produce from your garden or farmer's market, the salad will be absolutely amazing. The end result is a recipe that's a bright and flavorful taste of summer. Make sure you have fresh lemon to squeeze on top of the dish to really make the flavors sing What do you think of this recipe? Have you enjoyed za'atar before?
