# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F.
02 - 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 internal temperature reaches 165°F. Allow to rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
03 - 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 with slight bite. Drain any excess liquid.
04 - On a separate baking sheet, toss drained chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, and salt. Roast for 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy, stirring halfway through.
05 - Whisk together tahini, fresh lemon juice, water, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust water gradually for desired consistency, creating a pourable sauce.
06 - Divide cooked farro evenly among 4 serving bowls. Arrange mixed greens, sliced chicken, roasted chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion on top of each bowl.
07 - Drizzle lemon-tahini sauce generously over each bowl. Serve immediately while components are at optimal temperature.
