Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (3 to 4 lb total)
1/3 cup well-stirred tahini (Middle Eastern sesame paste)
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1 garlic clove, minced

Steps:

  • Put oven racks in middle and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a 15- by 10-inch shallow baking pan. Roast on bottom rack, shaking pan once or twice, until just tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pat chicken dry and sprinkle all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy ovenproof skillet (not nonstick) over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken, turning over once, until golden, about 6 minutes total. Transfer skillet to middle of oven and roast until just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • While chicken roasts, purée tahini, water, lemon juice, sugar, garlic, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. (Add more water if sauce is too thick.)
  • Serve chicken and asparagus drizzled with some of sauce and with remaining sauce on the side.

Overall, this is a great recipe that I would definitely recommend. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the asparagus was cooked perfectly, and the tahini sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again!

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The tahini sauce was very heavy, and the chicken was a bit greasy. I think I would prefer a lighter version of this recipe.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit bland, and the asparagus was overcooked. The tahini sauce was good, but it didn't save the dish.

This was my first time making roast chicken, and it turned out great! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the asparagus was cooked perfectly. The tahini sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, but overall this is a great recipe.
