Sumac & Oregano Roasted Chicken
Keeping it light? Upping your protein? Watching your sodium intake? This dish from Chef Akhtar ticks all the boxes, bringing fresh, feel-good balance to the table. Chicken breast is brushed in olive oil, dusted with sumac and oregano, then roasted until tender. It lands next to a Mediterranean Ratatouille, laced with preserved lemon and folded with chickpeas for a boost of fiber. A punchy Lebanese sauce, known as toum, ties everything together with a creamy, garlicky kick.
