When
I went to Trader Joe’s a couple of weeks ago, I picked up this white bean and
basil hummus. It is fantastic!
I
had some left over and wanted to use it up so I decided to put it on some
chicken.
Now
this recipe isn’t rocket science, but it sure tasted good.
Any
hummus would work great, homemade or store bought.
What
you need,
2-4
boneless skinless chicken breasts
¼
to ½ cup hummus
1
tbsp. vegetable or olive oil
Salt
and Pepper
Start
by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
Heat
the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Pat the chicken breasts dry
with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Cook
the chicken in the hot pan for 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
Remove
the browned chicken from the pan. Spread a couple of tablespoons of the hummus
over the top of each breast.
Place
the hummus coated chicken into an oven safe baking dish and bake in the oven
for 20-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
I
served mine with buttermilk mashed potatoes and some garlicky sautéed snap
peas!
It
was delicious! The hummus gave the chicken a lot of flavor and it created a
crisp topping.
A
perfect simple dinner!
