Ingredients
Cooking spray
4 breasts Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
¼ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup Hummus
½ teaspoon Smoked paprika
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each breast evenly with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
In a small bowl, stir together the hummus and smoked paprika until well combined.
Spread the hummus mixture evenly over the top of each seasoned chicken breast, using about 1 tablespoon per breast.
Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when measured at the thickest part with a meat thermometer.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving. The hummus crust will be set and the chicken tender and juicy.
