Steps

1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. In a bowl, mix the minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to create a marinade.
3. Cut the chicken breast in half horizontally to make it thinner and more even for cooking.
4. Coat the chicken pieces with the marinade and let them sit for about 10 minutes.
5. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the tahini sauce by mixing tahini, lemon juice, and water in a small bowl until smooth.
6. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
7. Toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden.
8. Assemble the burger by placing grilled chicken on the bun, adding lettuce, tomato, and cucumber slices, then drizzling with tahini sauce.
9. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
