Tasty & Tangy Hummus Crusted Chicken

It’s no secret that low-carb eating isn’t my favorite thing, but I think I may have found a go-to low-carb, gluten free, and dairy free dish. Hummus Crusted Chicken with Veggies is that meal, and thanks to Pinterest I’ve located yet another great recipe!

Hummus Crusted Chicken

I’m more the kind of person eat what I want in moderation and not try to stick to a diet of any kind. Frankly, it’s because I’d fail miserably as I lack self-restraint. And my love for cheese and pasta is a very real thing. So the idea of gluten and dairy free food always seems like a punishment. But when I’m aiming to eat healthy, this Hummus Crusted Chicken is a seriously great one to make. Lean proteins, tons of veggies, and that hummus adds such great flavor.

The first great thing is that this dish was really easy to pull together. Chop up some yellow squash, zucchini, and onions and that’s about it. The worst part was seasoning the chicken because I had to, once again, deal with raw chicken. But it was surprisingly painless.

Then it was a matter of layering the chicken on the seasoned veggies and covering them with hummus. Since I’m only one person, I didn’t need a giant amount of chicken. I grabbed a pack that said it had 2-3 chicken breasts and I ended up with 2 so that worked perfectly for me. When it came to the hummus, I went with a roasted red pepper variety, but I’m thinking you could be pretty adventurous with your hummus flavors. Then just add some lemon juice and smoked paprika and bake away.

Because I’m extremely paranoid about raw chicken and it being fully cooked, I ended up baking mine for a good 35 minutes, but I have to tell you that this was probably the juiciest, most flavorful chicken I’ve ever made. Delicious chicken plus the combo of hummus and lemon juice made for a seriously tasty and tangy dish. I didn’t even miss my usual side of carbs either, which is pretty huge for me.

Hummus Crusted Chicken

All in all, I’m extremely happy with this Hummus Crusted Chicken and whenever I make it, it comes out perfectly. I’m such a huge fan of zucchini and squash in general, which you are probably well aware of if you follow my blog. Plus this dish really couldn’t be much easier for a quick weeknight meal.

I definitely think you should add this to your “dishes to make” list ASAP and pull it out when you know you have a busy week ahead. Go on and click here for the recipe and step by step instructions…did I mention this was SO good?!

  • I'm pretty sure that this guy meditated with me during our day 5 meditation by @actionjacquelyn and @stretchyfitapp  for the #fitbodystrongmind challenge. Relaxing is tough you guys! I'm trying to get better at being present and surrendering to the moment. Grateful for the 5 days to recenter and be present. How are you doing in that part of your life? ♥️🐾♥️ #stretchybabe
  • Today I started the #fitbodystrongmind 5 day challenge with a fantastic Barre workout from @actionjacquelyn - During the workout I realized how easy it could be to do fewer reps but I continued to push myself today and I'm so glad I did. My self love exercise today was stretching. I've been mindful to fit in at least one stretching session a day and I'm AMAZED how little (& one BIG) areas of my life have improved. I feel crazy even tying those things to stretching but I believe! @stretchyfitapp #stretchybabe
  • Friends, we need to talk about how AMAZING these Double Chocolate Avocado Blender Muffins are. Not to mention I made a #lowsugar #lowcarb super healthy version of this sweet treat by @lauraleabalanced. If you love chocolate, then you'll love them! #llbook2challenge
  • To rent or buy...what do you prefer? Full disclosure...I hate moving. But it's been on my mind a lot lately. I'm running out of space in my little apartment especially since getting my puppy. So I'm toying with moving to a bigger apartment while saving up for a house. Is home ownership all it's cracked up to be or do you like renting? Team rent or team home ownership? Comment below and let me know. I'm feeling pretty torn if I should keep renting or save up and put down roots. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

  • Favorite flavor combo? Comment below!! For me it's totally peanut butter and chocolate. And I'm extremely torn between the OG Reese's pb eggs and the new ones with the pieces in them. Really thought I'd hate the latter and they're amazing! Thoughts? Have you tried them both?
