# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Rub chicken breasts thoroughly with olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
02 - Place chicken in preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
03 - In a saucepan, combine farro, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until farro is tender and water is absorbed. Drain any excess liquid if necessary.
04 - On a separate baking sheet, toss drained chickpeas with olive oil, ground cumin, and salt. Roast at 400°F for 15-20 minutes until golden and lightly crispy, stirring halfway through.
05 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together tahini, fresh lemon juice, water, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined. Add additional water gradually to achieve desired consistency.
06 - Divide cooked farro evenly among 4 bowls. Top each with mixed greens, sliced roasted chicken, roasted chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and red onion slices.
07 - Drizzle each bowl generously with lemon tahini sauce. Serve immediately while warm.
