Instructions

1

Prep the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish with oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt on both sides and place them in the prepared dish.

2

Apply the Hummus Coating

Spread a generous, even layer of hummus over the top of each chicken breast using a spatula or the back of a spoon. Sprinkle the za-atar or paprika evenly over the hummus coating on each piece.

3

Bake Until Golden

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the hummus topping is lightly golden and set. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
