Sticky Sesame Chicken Bowls with Asian Slaw and Tahini, Lime and Ginger Dressing
Guys. This crispy, sticky, sesame and ginger Chicken is the bees actual knees. It’s offers so much bang for your buck in terms of flavour, freshness and being budget friendly this January 🙂 Also, it can all be thrown together in one little jiffy and is easy to double up for a lunch box feast the next day. Won’t you give it a bash soon soon and let me know what you think? Oh, and the chicken works just as well alongside buckwheat or courgette noodles or crammed into rice paper rolls with the dressing used as a lekker zingy dipping sauce. Yay.
And thanks to my amazing Miele friends for collaborating on this recipe with me, and giving me all the kitchen kit a girl could dream of to effortlessly churn out delicious new recipes for you all.
