3-Ingredient Hummus-Crusted Chicken
This 3-Ingredient Hummus-Crusted Chicken is a super easy dish to put together and you can have it on the table in under 30 minutes. I love a quick and easy midweek meal, especially one which combines ingredients in a unique and unusual way like this one. Chicken breasts can be quite dry when baked in the oven but the hummus coating on the outside keeps the chicken deliciously moist during the cooking process.
To make this chicken dish, spread hummus over each chicken breast and spread it in a thin layer until each one is fully coated all over. Sprinkle paprika over the chicken breasts and bake in a preheated oven until cooked through. When you are happy the chicken is cooked, switch the oven to broil the chicken until the hummus is dry. Serve immediately with green salad.

Baked to perfection with some pasta and sundried tomatoes my new favorite recipe.
Took me much longer than 28 minutes to prep this but was worth the time and effort due to the amazing freaking taste, it's great with freshly chopped tomatoes too and a lottt of rice.
Wonderful recipe loved this chicken with some yellow rice on the side and brown beans, always makes me and my stomach happy haha.
Does this go well with sweet potatoes or nah ?
Scrumptious lunch/dinner for any day of the week me and my husband made it yesterday and loved every single bite with slice bananas and white rice.
Can I make it with pork and beef or only chicken works for this?
Not my cup of tea I think it has too much seasoning since the hummus already has a strong flavor and doesnt need a lot more things added to it.
