Quick Idea for a Fancy Meal.

My mother loves chicken, and she absolutely adored the chicken tikka recipe a friend shared with me. In case you are not sure what tikka is: tikka means small pieces or chinks. A chicken tikka recipe is therefore for chicken that is cut up into small pieces. The recipe I gave my mom included marinating the chicken in a blend of spices. Since she loves cayenne pepper, I made sure to include that. I also used lemon, capers, and garlic to give the tikka something a little special. Along side of the tikka, I made a roasted veggie blend that was more mellow than the chicken: I used some honey, rosemary, and parsley to brighten up the flavor of the potatoes, carrots, and leaks. Mom was happy’and it was a healthy meal too!
