Pan Seared Advieh Chicken Breast with Avocado Tahini Sauce and Za’atar Roasted Tomatoes

Warming and floral notes from a Persian spice blend meet a rich and garlicky tahini avocado sauce, both of which get a lift from bright sweet acidic pops of roasted cherry tomatoes in this quick yet delicious Middle Eastern-inspired dish. I also like to cook chicken thighs like this, though the cooking time will need to be extended a bit.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast 4 6-ounce chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, or chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons Advieh
  • salt to taste

Za’atar Roasted Tomatoes

Avocado Tahini Sauce

  • 1 avocado pitted and peel removed
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin ground
  • 1/8 teaspoon coriander ground

To Serve

  • parsley optional
  • dried rose petals optional

Instructions

  • Pound the chicken to and even 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of plastic wrap. I often use a rolling pin or large bottle in this task. Season the chicken with the Advieh and set aside.
  • Toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil and season to taste with salt. Place onto a broiler-safe pan and broil for 5-8 minutes, or until lightly charred. Sprinkle with Za’atar and set aside.
  • Combine all the avocado tahini sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or lemon, as desired.
  • Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and when hot, add the oil and lay chicken in the pan. Keep the chicken in a single layer and cook for 2-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • To serve, spoon avocado onto plates, add the chicken, and scatter tomatoes over top. Garnish with fresh herbs and rose petals, if desired.
