Total Time:
35m
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 pounds)—peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 2 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 12 ounces romaine hearts, cut into strips (about 9 cups)
- 1 15.5-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
- 1 cup pita chips, broken
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Directions
- Heat oven to 425° F, with the racks in the upper and lower thirds. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the squash with 2 tablespoons of the oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Roast on the bottom rack, tossing once, until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the chicken on a second rimmed baking sheet and coat it with 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil; season with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast on the top rack until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly, then slice.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, oregano, the remaining tablespoon of oil, ⅓ cup water, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Divide the lettuce among plates; dividing evenly, top with the squash, chicken, chickpeas, pita chips, and chives. Serve with the dressing.

Quick Tip
Tahini can vary in thickness, depending on the brand. Don’t be afraid to add a little more or less water than the recipe calls
for to get the consistency of the dressing to your liking.
