¼ cup tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions
Marinate the chicken by mixing olive oil, lemon juice, spices, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken well and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the marinated chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
In a small bowl, prepare the tahini sauce by combining tahini with lemon juice and minced garlic; add water to reach your desired consistency.
Assemble your bowls starting with rice or quinoa as the base. Top with sliced chicken and fresh veggies.
Drizzle generously with tahini sauce and garnish with chopped herbs before serving.
