Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup tahini paste
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tbsp)
  • 1 medium cucumber, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with the mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  3. Prepare the hummus: In a food processor, blend chickpeas, tahini paste, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and water until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.
  4. Chop fresh veggies: Dice cucumbers and bell peppers.
  5. Assemble bowls: Slice the cooked chicken and layer it in meal prep containers alongside hummus and fresh veggies.

Nutrition

Keywords: For added flavor, marinate chicken overnight. Substitute proteins like tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian option. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
