| 5 tablespoons | olive oil |

| 1½ teaspoons | cumin seeds, coarsely ground |
| 2 | boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved crosswise |
| 1 teaspoon | minced garlic |
| 2 teaspoons | lemon juice |
| ¼ cup | Greek yogurt |
| ¼ cup | tahini |

What to Do
1. In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon oil with onions, tomato paste, 1½ teaspoons water and cumin. Add chicken, toss to coat and let marinate 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine garlic with lemon juice and let marinate 10 minutes. Whisk yogurt, 1 tablespoon oil and tahini into marinated garlic until smooth. Season with salt.
2. In a second small bowl, soak dried fruits in hot water until swollen, 3 minutes. Drain fruit and wipe bowl clean. Return fruit to bowl and stir in nuts, 1 tablespoon oil and cilantro.
3. Brush marinade off chicken and season with salt. Slick a large pan with remaining oil and set over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, sear chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. To serve, place dollops of yogurt on four plates, top with chicken and spoon nut-fruit mixture over top.
