Chicken with spicy seasoned roasted rhubarb is honestly just very good. This dish is super easy, full of so many spring flavors, textures and heartiness. I love paring fruits with savory food, this combination with slightly spicy chicken is delicious, the rhubarb makes this dish complete. So, who says that rhubarb goes only with desserts, it fits with almost everything.
