Preheat the oven to 200\u00b0C (400\u00b0F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, sumac, and paprika.
Tip: Get rid of any lumps by whisking continuously.
3
Add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the dressing.
Tip: Make sure the chicken is fully coated.
4
Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy.
Tip: Flip the chicken halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
5
While the chicken is baking, prepare the salad by combining the mixed greens, crunchy veggies, onion, and cucumber in a large bowl.
Tip: Make sure to tear the greens into bite-sized pieces.
6
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Tip: This will help the chicken to stay crispy.
7
Add the cooked chicken to the salad bowl and toss gently to combine.
Tip: Be gentle to avoid bruising the greens.

Crush the pita bread into pieces and sprinkle over the salad.
Tip: This adds a satisfying crunch to the dish.
