This low carb, gluten free, and dairy free dish is simple and oh so good!
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- Zucchini, chopped (medium or large sized)
- Yellow Squash, chopped (medium or large sized)
- Yellow Onion, diced (medium)
- 1 cup Hummus, homemade or store-bought (I like roasted red pepper hummus in this recipe)
- 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 2 Lemons
- 1 tsp. Smoked Paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Spray one large baking dish (or smaller dish if halving the recipe as I did).
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts really well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Add the zucchini, yellow squash, and onions to a large bowl and toss with the olive oil and a nice pinch of salt and pepper.
- Layer the vegetables in the bottom of the baking dish in a single layer.
- Place the seasoned chicken on top of the vegetables. Then spoon the hummus over the top of each chicken breast and spread it so that it completely coats the outside of each piece of chicken.
- Sprinkle smoked paprika over the top of the chicken. Then bake for 25-35 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. I usually bake mine for 35 minutes and it comes out so juicy and perfectly cooked through.
- Once the chicken is cooked, let it sit for 5 minutes on a cutting board before slicing, and enjoy right away!
