Ingredients:

Serving

2 lb asparagus , cut into 2-inch pieces
3 tbsp olive oil
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (3 to 4 lb total )
1/3 cup well-stirred tahini (middle eastern sesame paste)
1/3 cup water
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp sugar
1 garlic clove, minced

Directions:

Put oven racks in middle and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 450°F.
Toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a 15- by 10-inch shallow baking pan. Roast on bottom rack, shaking pan once or twice, until just tender, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, pat chicken dry and sprinkle all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy ovenproof skillet (not nonstick) over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken, turning over once, until golden, about 6 minutes total. Transfer skillet to middle of oven and roast until just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
While chicken roasts, purée tahini, water, lemon juice, sugar, garlic, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. (Add more water if sauce is too thick.)
Serve chicken and asparagus drizzled with some of sauce and with remaining sauce on the side.
