Hummus Chicken Recipes

HUMMUS CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Stir green bell pepper and onion together in the bottom of a 9-inch casserole dish. Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables; stir to coat.
• Coat chicken breasts completely with a thin layer of hummus and place atop the vegetables. Drizzle lemon juice over the chicken and dust with paprika.
• Cook chicken breasts in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

PEPPER CHICKEN WITH HUMMUS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Line a large shallow baking pan with foil.
• Stir together oil, salt, cumin, pepper, and oregano in a large bowl, then toss with chicken and vegetables. Arrange in baking pan without crowding and broil 4 to 6 inches from heat, stirring once, until chicken is just cooked through and vegetables are lightly charred, about 8 minutes. Divide hummus among plates and top with chicken and vegetables.

QUICK CHICKEN HUMMUS BOWL

Steps:

• Mix 2 tbsp of the hummus with half the lemon juice, the lemon zest and enough water to make a drizzly dressing. Squeeze the grain pouch to separate the grains, then divide between two shallow bowls and toss through the dressing. Top each bowl with a handful of the spinach.
• Squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the avocado halves, then add one half to each bowl. Divide the chicken, pomegranate seeds, onion, almonds and remaining hummus between the two bowls and gently mix everything together just before eating.

CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH BROAD BEAN HUMMUS

Steps:

• Mix the oil, oregano, paprika, lemon juice and garlic in a bowl with some black pepper and a pinch of salt, then add the chicken and toss well. Thread the chicken onto four metal skewers and set aside. For the salad, mix the onions and lemon juice in a bowl and set aside.
• To make the hummus, boil the broad beans in 300ml water for 5 mins, then scoop out of the pan, reserving the water. Tip the beans into a bowl with the rest of the ingredients, and blitz using a hand blender with up to 150ml of the cooking water until smooth.
• Heat the grill to high and cook the chicken skewers for 4-5 mins on each side, or until cooked through. Meanwhile, finish preparing the salad. Toss the tomatoes and sliced cucumber with the lemon-soaked onions. Serve halve the hummus with two skewers of chicken and half the salad. The remainder will keep in the fridge for up to two days.
