Green Tahini Chicken Salad

Add your parsley, mint, tahini, the juice of your lemon, olive oil and the water to a blender with a pinch of salt. Blitz to a really smooth sauce.

Pour 1/3 of this mixture into a bowl along with your za’atar and a good pinch of salt. Add your chicken and mix to combine. Leave to marinade.

Very finely slice your courgettes using a mandoline, if you’ve got one, or a sharp knife.

Cut the ends off your baby gem and separate the leaves. Give them a wash to remove any dirt.

Heat a griddle pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add your chicken and fry for about 5 mins on each side until it is totally cooked through. Remove from the pan to rest for 10 mins.

Once your chicken has cooled enough to handle, slice it into pieces.

Add your lettuce to a bowl along with your sliced courgettes and chicken. Pour over your remaining dressing, then toss to combine.

Top with your crispy shallots, then serve.
