Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 chicken breast halves with skin and bones (4 to 4 1/2 lb total)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup well-stirred tahini (Middle Eastern sesame paste)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 lb sugar snap peas, trimmed
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Rub chicken with oil in a shallow baking pan (1 inch deep) and sprinkle with pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Roast chicken until just cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • While chicken roasts, blend tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic, sugar, and remaining teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth.
  • Blanch sugar snaps in a 2-quart saucepan of 1 minute, then drain in a colander. Rinse under cold running water to stop cooking and drain well.
  • When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove skin and discard. Remove meat from bones in large pieces, discarding bones, then pull meat into 1/3-inch-wide strips and transfer to a large bowl. Add sugar snaps, bell pepper, and dressing and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

The chicken in this salad is always so tender and juicy. I cook it in a slow cooker, so it's fall-apart tender.
