Hummus Crusted Chicken
As most of you now know, K and I have been on this healthy eating phase for the past three weeks. We have always usually eaten healthy during the week and have enjoyed some really calorie filled lunches and dinners over the weekend, so the last few weeks I cut that down too ... the result of course is visible and both K and I are liking the fact that our bodies are definitely a bit more toned, and certain clothes are no longer snug and tight! YAY! .... Just in case you are wondering, we don't consider ourselves fat and thus are dieting ... we just decided to cut down on the junk :)
In the last three weeks I have made a lot of hummus at home, and when I was menu planning for a sunday lunch, I suddenly remembered a recipe I had read somewhere (and I still don't remember where) but it involved hummus and chicken and it was cooked together ... so I jazzed it up a bit by getting some store bought flavored hummus
This is a quick and easy meal so this can definitely fit a busy working week schedule
ENJOY!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Place the well washed, skinless chicken breasts in the baking dish and season with salt and pepper
- 2
Final step: Cover each chicken breast with some hummus. I decided to go with a store bought one for a change as I always make it at home, SO I bought some sundried tomato hummus
- 3
Squeeze the juice of a lemon over the chicken breast and bake
- 4
You can also bake some veggies to go with this. I sauteed some broccoli, carrots and got some purple carrots in the farmers market so added that in and cooked it with some olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper
- 5
I had some whole wheat pita at home so warmed that a bit before serving
- 6
It was a very filling meal

This Tuscany parppardelle pasta is very similar to Chinese belt noodle, chewy and quick cooking. I use homemade hummus and loosen the paste up with a splash of extra virgin olive oil and pasta water. All of a sudden a fusion taste of awesome pasta is ready with beautiful spring green vegetables like asparagus and local baby english cucumbers.

Lentil Lovers Hummus Lentil Lovers Hummus
I love lentils and I love Hummus, so why not put the two together! I had so much fun making this and my family ate all of it in one night. I was kind of envisioning an Indian vibe on the traditional Greek hummus. I didn't have tahini, so I substituted with a paste of cashews and sesame seed oil. The goat cheese really makes this creamy and nice on the pallet. I have decided to go on a hummus experience and I will be testing different nuts and flavors with legumes/beans. I topped mine off with diced kalamata olives and olive oil but feel free to use whatever you like. I hope you try it and if you do please share your thoughts with me. Let me know if you used a different type of nut with this recipe and how it came out! Thanks for stopping by!
