Hummus Crusted Chicken

Stop what you're doing right now, do yourself a favor and go grab your grocery list. Now, scroll down so you can add the ingredients for this recipe to it. Actually, you know what, just jot them down quick and go get them so you can make it for dinner tonight.

Yes. It's that good. And it's so easy. This is one of those one dish meals that makes you wonder why you've ever fussed around with multiple pots and pans when you could just bake up this heavenly meal.

What you'll need:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• salt and pepper
• 1 zucchini, chopped
• 1 yellow squash, chopped
• 1 yellow onion, chopped (I used half of a red instead because I had it left over)
• 1 cup hummus (I just used an entire 7oz tub)
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 lemons
• 1 tsp paprika

What you'll do:

1. Pre-heat your oven to 450F and grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Toss chopped veggies in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
3. Place veggies in the bottom of the baking dish in an even layer. Then evenly lay out the chicken breasts on top of them. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the chicken and veggies.
4. Spread your hummus over the top in a smooth, even layer. Think kind of like a shepherd's pie. Sprinkle your paprika on top.
5. Bake 25-35 minutes, or until your chicken is cooked all the way through. 

Seriously, it's that easy. I made this on Sunday and have been enjoying it everyday for lunch this week. I'm definitely going to make it again, and experiment with different flavors of hummus. I think I'll also double the zucchini and squash because personally, I could use a bit more!
