Instructions

Step 1

Arrange an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler and heat broiler to high. Line a sheet pan with foil for easier clean-up. On the sheet pan, toss the chicken with the Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper and a big pinch of salt until evenly coated. Add the tomatoes and green beans to the sheet pan, sprinkle with salt, then drizzle everything with the oil. Toss to coat, then spread into an even layer. Broil until the chicken is cooked through and charred in spots and the tomatoes and green beans are golden, 10 to 14 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, stir together the tahini and vinegar. Add water until pourable (around ⅓ cup, depending on your tahini). Add salt and sugar to taste: If flavors are muted, add salt; if tart, add sugar.

Step 3

Serve the chicken and vegetables drizzled with the balsamic tahini and herbs, if using.
