  2. While the chicken is cooking mix tahini with 4 tablespoons water and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. You want a smooth creamy sauce, Add a little more water if it's very thick.
  3. When the chicken is cooked, stir in 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil to make the sauce a little richer and more balanced. Taste and season the sauce with a little salt and / or more chilli.
  4. Divide baby spinach between 2 shallow bowls. Top with chicken and sauce. Drizzle over tahini sauce. And scatter over the almonds.
