  2. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear for 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Let rest.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and a splash of water until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.
