Hummus Topped Chicken

This recipe is pretty much exactly how it sounds.  I made this almost a year ago, and completely forgot about it.  I have no idea how I could have forgotten about it, because it is amazing!  I love chicken dishes but need some variety and this provides the taste and variety I am looking for!

The Hummus Topped Chicken tastes amazing with zucchini and squash {the veggies in the recipe} although you can choose whatever vegetables you would like as well as pasta, rice, quinoa, or on a bed of greens!  The possibilities and varieties are endless with this dish.

You can also mix it up by changing the type of hummus you top the chicken with.  I have not attempted this myself, but you can make your own hummus, use garlic hummus, roasted red pepper, original, etc. etc. etc.  So. Many. Options.

I'm planning on making this dish later this week so you will see some pictures added later, but here are the details for this recipe if you want to try and make this right now!

Ingredients:
1 package {or 1 cup} of hummus, your choice.
3-4 chicken breasts
1 lemon
2 zucchini
2 squash
salt
pepper
olive oil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Start by cutting the vegetables and placing them in a glass baking dish.  You can use one dish for both the veggies and chicken, or two {one for veggies, one for chicken...your choice}.  Drizzle olive oil, salt, and pepper over the veggies.  Set aside.

To prepare the chicken, pat the 3-4 chicken breasts dry.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Spread on 1 cup of hummus on the top of the chicken.  It should be a generous amount, not too thin, not too thick.  If using one baking dish, place chicken on top of veggies.  If two, drizzle a small amount of olive oil in the glass baking dish, then place the chicken in the dish.

Squeeze the lemon over the veggies and the chicken.

Place the dish{es} into the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes.  If frozen, cook for 60 minutes.

Enjoy the amazing taste of Hummus Topped Chicken!
