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.
To make 3-Ingredient Hummus-Crusted Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 450 °F and place a rack in the center of the oven. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Pat the chicken all over with paper towels to dry. Season the chicken all over with 1 teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper.
Place the chicken on the lightly greased baking sheet in a single layer.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of hummus over each chicken breast. Ensure it is spread in a thin layer until each one is evenly coated all over.
Sprinkle each hummus coated chicken breast with paprika.
Place the chicken in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Switch the oven to broil. Broil for about 3 minutes until the hummus is dry to the touch.
Serve immediately, with a side of your choice.
