Whisk together tahini, water, 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, ½ tablespoon of olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Set this tahini mixture aside for later.

Season chicken breasts on both sides with ¼ teaspoon salt and black pepper. Let them rest for a few minutes for better flavor absorption.

Heat up a grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.

Place chicken breasts into the heated pan. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the chicken is completely cooked and the juices run clear. Then let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after removing from pan.

While the chicken is resting, grill the pitas in the pan. Toast for about a minute on each side until they are lightly toasted and warm.

Slice the rested chicken thinly across the grain.

In a medium bowl, add remaining ½ tablespoon of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Whisk together until well-combined.

Add shredded romaine lettuce to the bowl and toss to coat in the lemon-olive oil mixture.

To assemble, divide the lettuce mixture evenly among the grilled pita halves. Stack thin slices of the grilled chicken and the thinly sliced roasted red bell peppers evenly on top of the lettuce in each pita half.

Finally, drizzle each stuffed pita half with some of the prepared tahini mixture.
