Hummus Crusted Chicken

Wow - this recipe was a winner!  Hands down one of the best I've found on Pinterest!  

Hummus Crusted Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper

1/4 cup chopped parsley
4 cloves chopped garlic
2 zucchini, chopped
2 yellow squash, chopped
2 medium onions, chopped
1.5 cups hummus, homemade or storebought
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 lemons
1 tsp. smoked paprika or sumac


Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Prepare one large baking dish with cooking spray.

Season the chicken breasts with generous pinches of salt and pepper. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, squash and onion with olive oil, garlic, and parsley until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper.




Place all of the vegetables on the bottom of the dish in an even layer. Lay the four chicken breasts evenly on top, then cover each chicken breast with the hummus so that the entire breast is covered. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the chicken and vegetables. Then sprinkle the pan with smoked paprika or sumac. Thinly slice the remaining lemon, and place the slices in between the chicken and vegetables if desired.



Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Serve immediately.
