Ingredients
    1 medium  butternut squash, (about 2 pounds)—peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces
    4 tablespoons  olive oil
      kosher salt and black pepper
    2 6-ounce  boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    1/3 cup  tahini, (sesame seed paste)
    2 tablespoons  fresh lemon juice
    1 teaspoon  dried oregano
    12 ounces  romaine hearts, cut into strips (about 9 cups)
    1 15.5-ounce can  chickpeas, rinsed
    1 cup  pita chips, broken
    2 tablespoons  chopped fresh chives

Directions
Heat oven to 425° F, with the racks in the upper and lower thirds. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the squash with 2 tablespoons of the oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Roast on the bottom rack, tossing once, until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the chicken on a second rimmed baking sheet and coat it with 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil; season with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast on the top rack until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly, then slice.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, oregano, the remaining tablespoon of oil, ⅓ cup water, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Divide the lettuce among plates; dividing evenly, top with the squash, chicken, chickpeas, pita chips, and chives. Serve with the dressing.
