Cooking Steps

Add sesame seeds to a shallow bowl. Set aside.

Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season chicken with 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) garlic salt and pepper.

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then chicken. (NOTE: Cook chicken in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.) Pan-fry until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side.
Using tongs, working one piece at a time, transfer chicken to the plate with sesame seeds. Coat one side with sesame seeds, then transfer chicken, seed side up, to an unlined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Roast in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 6-8 min.**

Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
Peel, pit, then cut avocado into 1/2-inch pieces.

Add tahini sauce, mayo, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and half the vinegar (use all for 4 ppl) to a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Add spinach, avocados and tomatoes. Toss to combine.

Slice chicken.
Divide salad between plates, then top with crispy shallots.
Divide chicken between plates.

If you've opted to get chicken thighs, prep and sear them in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and sear the chicken breasts, then decrease roasting time to 6-8 min.
