Tahini Sauce:
½ Tbsp garlic stir-in paste (blended garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt)
⅛ cup fresh lemon juice
5 oz tahini
⅓ cup ice-cold water
⅓ tsp salt
1 (about 3/4 lb) red onion, peeled, sliced
3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
1¾ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 Tbsp Tuscan seasoning
½ cup green, kalamata, and/or black olives
Optional:
2 pkgs (12 oz each) Wegmans Organic Grain & Vegetable Blends Bulgur, Barley & Red Quinoa, cooked per pkg directions, divided
Wegmans Habanero Hot Sauce, to taste
1 1/2 pkgs (6 pitas) Wegmans Organic Whole Wheat Pita Bread, sliced in half, warmed
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Tahini Sauce:
Add the garlic and lemon juice to bowl & let it rest for 2 min., to mellow the garlic flavor.
Whisk in the tahini, water, and salt, until it’s smooth. Set aside.
Add the onions and 1 Tbsp oil to a large bowl, then toss to combine. Arrange the onions in a single layer on one half of a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Add the remaining oil, chicken, and Tuscan seasoning to the same large bowl, then toss to combine.
Arrange chicken on other half of the baking sheet.
Roast for 20-25 min, then remove the baking sheet from oven.
Carefully transfer the chicken to a cutting board & slice it. Return to the baking sheet.
Set the oven to BROIL. Broil for 3-5 min, until the chicken is crispy.
Serve as desired with 2 Tbsp of tahini sauce & olives, as desired.
