Colorado Chicken Tahini
A tasty tahini sauce with a "kick" helps transform left-over cooked chicken. I used grilled chicken breasts (2) for my DH and I. This is a simple, quick meal that you can create in less than 30 minutes. I added peas and sliced carrots and it was a one dish meal...kind of Moroccan! He actually liked it and that made me happy! I served the chicken over rice.
3/4 cup de-fatted chicken stock
1/4 cup tahini
2 TBS low-sodium soy sauce
1 TBS honey
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp hot-pepper sauce
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
If you are adding veggies, steam them while you're preparing the Tahini Chicken.
Prepare rice as directed.
In a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, bring the stock to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Whisk in the tahini, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger and pepper sauce until smooth. Stir in veggies and chicken. Heat through.
Spoon mix over rice and enjoy!
