Directions
Step 1:
In a bowl, whisk yogurt, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and spices until smooth.
Step 2:
Add chicken and coat evenly. Marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for deeper flavor).

Step 4:
Cook chicken in a skillet for 6–7 minutes per side, or bake for 30–35 minutes until cooked through.
Step 5:
Spoon extra sauce over chicken while cooking for added creaminess.
