What to serve before and after Delia's Marinated Chicken?

Asked on 1 Apr 2018 by Eileen

Marinated Chicken with Honey and Ginger served with Mango and Sultana Salsa. I plan to make this recipe for a lunch with family next Saturday. I will serve with the Saffron roasted potatoes as Delia suggests, but I would like to serve another vegetable or salad. What do you recommend? Also can you recommend a soup and dessert that would be suitable. Thank you. Eileen

PS The beurre manie used to thicken the poached chicken breasts with morel mushrooms worked a treat - thank you.

Hello Eileen,

We would nearly always serve Spiced Pilau Rice and a mixed green salad instead of the roast potatoes. And we like to make double the mango salsa so there’s plenty.

You could do …

Green beans with red pepper, onions, tomato & garlic

I would start with this soup…
