That's right we said hummus crusted. Delicious things are happening here!

Hummus-Crusted Chicken

chicken (breast, boneless, skinless)

salt and pepper

hummus (Store bought, or make your own!)

mixed vegetables (optional)

lemon

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&#x27;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.

Lean pulled pork loaded with flavor and without any added sugar, say no more! You'll love this easy and protein packed recipe to add to your weekly meal prep. Try it topped on salads, on whole grain bread, or just as is.

Grilled Chicken Breast Recipe

chicken breast cutlets (8 pieces total preferably organic)

extra virgin olive oil

garlic

herbs

red wine vinegar

salt

black pepper (to taste)

Prepare the Chicken: Start with your thin chicken cutlets. If you haven&#39;t already, follow the instructions above to pound your chicken to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.

Marinate the Chicken: Combine olive oil, garlic, dried herbs and vinegar in a large deep shallow dish. Season chicken on both sides with salt and black pepper then add to the marinade.

Make sure they’re evenly coated then, cover and marinate at least 30 minutes, but preferably up to 2 hours for better flavor. Or as long as overnight.

Preheat Your Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If you&#39;re using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are covered with white ash.

Grill the Chicken: Once your grill is heated, oil the grates and add the chicken cutlets. Grill the chicken for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Because the cutlets are thin, they will cook quickly. Be careful not to overcook them, as chicken can become dry if cooked too long.

Rest and Serve: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

You can give this timeless classic salad a new look every time you make it by choosing different greens, meats, and dressings. My version is loaded with lean protein and dressed with a yummy skinny ranch dressing. Each huge salad, including dressing, has 265 calories and 9 grams of fat. Makes a very satisfying lunch or main course dinner!
