Description
A delicious and healthy meal combining lemon flavored chicken, creamy hummus, and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup hummus
- 1 cup cucumbers, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, roasted
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- To start, heat your skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with oil. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Take the boneless skinless chicken thighs and place them in the bowl with the marinade. Toss the chicken until it’s thoroughly coated in the mixture and let it marinate for at least 10–15 minutes.
- Once your chicken has marinated, place each thigh into the hot skillet in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Cook for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- In your serving bowls, spread a generous layer of hummus at the bottom. Slice the rested chicken thighs, sprinkle them over the hummus, then add sliced cucumbers, roasted cherry tomatoes, and top with fresh parsley.
Notes
Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for food safety and let it rest after cooking for juicy meat.
