Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breast, boneless, skinless
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 cup hummus Store bought, or make your own!
  • mixed vegetables optional
  • 1 lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400° F. Coat the bottom of a sheet pan with cooking spray.
  • Remove chicken from fridge and let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will allow chicken to cook more evenly. Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken.
  • Place chicken on the prepared sheet pan and cover each chicken breast completely with a thin layer of hummus.
  • To make this a complete meal, add veggies! Choose whatever veggies you'd like, chop to even, bite-sized pieces, toss in olive oil, and spread around chicken.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165° F) and the hummus is browned on top. Remove chicken from oven and squeeze lemon over chicken.
