# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes until cooked through. Remove and allow to rest, then slice into serving portions.
02 - In a saucepan, combine farro, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25–30 minutes until farro is tender and water is absorbed. Drain any excess liquid if necessary.
03 - On a separate baking sheet, toss chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, and salt. Roast for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and slightly crispy.
04 - Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Adjust water as needed to reach desired consistency.
05 - Divide cooked farro evenly among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with mixed greens, sliced roasted chicken, roasted chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
06 - Drizzle each bowl generously with lemon-tahini sauce and serve immediately while components are still warm.
