# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
02 - Roast chicken for 20 to 25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
03 - Combine farro, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes until tender. Drain excess water if necessary.
04 - Toss drained chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, and salt on a separate baking sheet. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes at 400°F until golden and slightly crispy, stirring halfway through.
05 - Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth. Adjust 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.
07 - Drizzle each bowl generously with lemon-tahini sauce. Serve immediately while chicken and chickpeas are warm.
