Ingredients

Instructions

Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with 1 tsp salt, smoked paprika, oregano, and pepper. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and set aside for 10-15 minutes to allow the salt to penetrate (salt early and let rest).
While chicken marinates, cook farro according to package instructions in lightly salted water. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Add 2-3 tbsp water to thin until pourable. Taste and adjust lemon or salt as needed (use acid to cut richness).
Preheat grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Grill chicken 5-6 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Let rest 3 minutes, then slice.
In a large bowl, toss cherry tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, and salad greens with a squeeze of lemon juice.
To assemble bowls: Divide farro among 4 bowls. Top with salad mix, sliced chicken, and drizzle generously with lemon-tahini sauce. Serve extra lemon wedges on the side.
