Chummos Chicken

IMG_3477


Ingredients



  • 3-4 chicken breasts


  • 2/3 cup hummus


  • 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil


  • 1 package of seasoned couscous (I used leftover orzo from another night)


  • pinch of salt


  • pinch of garlic powder


  • pinch of pepper


  • Tomato (I didn’t use)


  • Red Onion (I didn’t have)



Instructions




  1. Cook the couscous as per the instructions on the box. Set aside. 


  2. In a medium bowl, add hummus, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix together until smooth. 


  3. Coat each chicken breast thoroughly in the hummus mixture. Set each piece in your pan.


  4. Cover each piece of chicken with a layer of the prepared couscous.


  5. Pat down the couscous so it forms a solid and tight shell covering all of the chicken.


  6. Place sliced tomato and red onion on top (about 3 pieces of tomato per chicken breast and a few slices of onion).


  7. All of the chicken should be covered, to the point that it looks like a giant pile of couscous. Make sure that you press the couscous down, because it is going to form almost a "crust" on the outside of the chicken


  8. 5. Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes.


  9. Cut into the chicken after about 30 mins (this can be a little difficult with all the couscous), but often times it needs about 40 mins. to cook.
