Chicken Fingers and Green Beans with Tahini Sauce

Chicken fingers aren't just for kids. These chicken fingers are coated in panko, lemon rind, and Parmesan cheese. You can use plain breadcrumbs instead, but we prefer panko for the added flavor. Savory-sweet and addictive, the tahini-tomato dipping sauce offers a palate intrigue adults will love but enough flavor familiarity to keep it kid-approved. The flavorful dipping sauce pairs perfectly with both the crisp, broiled green beans and the pan-seared chicken fingers. Take advantage and make this a fun family twist on the chicken-and-fries combo that tops your favorite take out menus.
