Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions
- Cook the chicken: Heat your skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil if desired and place chicken breasts in the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
