Prepare the Toppings

Chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and shred the red cabbage.
In a small bowl, mix tahini with lemon juice and a bit of water to reach desired consistency. Season with salt.

Assemble the Bowls

Top with sliced chicken, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red cabbage.
Drizzle the tahini dressing over the top of each bowl.
