When it comes to chicken entrees we have a clear fan favorite in our house.  It combines juicy chicken breasts, fresh vegetables and…drumroll please…HUMMUS!  When I first stumbled across this recipe for hummus covered chicken on Pinterest I was a bit skeptical.  It seemed like a strange combination of flavors that could easily go awry.  However one quick look at the original recipe on Ali’s gorgeous site,  Gimme Some Oven, convinced me that it was worth testing out because that woman KNOWS HER STUFF.  This recipe is 100% Ali’s, I simply want to share it with all of you because it has become a staple in our household and is too delicious to keep to ourselves!

While the amazingly flavorful end result makes this a win in my book, perhaps the best part about this recipe is that it is exceedingly quick and easy to prepare.  And guess what? You’re only dirtying one baking dish and one bowl when you make it so clean up is a breeze!

Yellow squash, zucchini and lemon ready to cover the dish!

Ready to bake!

If you guys are fans of hummus I highly, HIGHLY recommend giving this recipe a try.  I promise you will not be disappointed!

Dinner is served!

Bon appetit!
