Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 24 tablespoons water (for hummus)
  • 1 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Pita bread or warm tortillas for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. While chicken cooks, prepare the hummus. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of water. Process until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt to taste.
  3. Assemble the bowls: Divide hummus among serving bowls. Top with cooked chicken, chopped cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and fresh parsley.
  4. Serve immediately with pita bread or warm tortillas, if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
  • You can prepare the hummus ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or Kalamata olives.
