Chicken (and/or Mushrooms) Over Warmed Hummus
Ingredients:
1 container of your favorite hummus (I recommend garlic, everything or mediterranean)
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
white mushrooms (sliced and washed, OPTIONAL)
olive oil
butter
garlic powder
oregano
paprika
fresh parsley
lemon
salt and pepper
Instructions:
Generously season chicken to your liking (I never use measurements...) using garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. If you have the time, place seasoned chicken in a ziploc bag with olive oil to marinate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a cast iron skillet or frying pan with 1 tbsp of butter and/or olive oil. Cook the chicken about 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and browned on the outside. If you would like to add mushrooms, saute mushrooms in 1 tbsp olive oil or butter until lightly browned and water has evaporated from the pan.
While the chicken is cooking, transfer your container of hummus into a small bakeware dish (glass or ceramic is preferable) and heat until warmed. About 10-15 minutes. Top with a drizzle of olive oil.
Place chicken and or mushrooms on top of warmed hummus. Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice! Serve with wild rice and greens or a fresh salad!
