Za’atar Spiced Chicken Legs With Lemon Yogurt
"Simple to make but big on flavour, this chicken recipe offers tasty support for immunity, muscle recovery, hormone production and energy levels. Using organic meat ensures a higher nutrient profile, and cooking on the bone releases collagen to support skin, bones and joints. Aromatic za’atar provides anti-inflammatory spices, and yoghurt adds a cooling, gut-friendly dressing to gently nourish the microbiome. Serve with a side salad and a portion of grains," says nutritional therapist Alexa Mullane.
