Recipes How To Make Easy, Delicious Za’atar Chicken — When You Don’t Have Any Za’atar In The House
It’s true. I made one of my favorite easy dinners — chicken with the Middle Eastern spice blend za’atar — even after discovering that I didn’t have any za’atar left. And even with the added time it took to make my own mixture (of course I’m going to tell you how), the chicken pictured above…
