For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of feta cheese or a drizzle of tahini over the chicken during the last few minutes of baking. Serve with a side of fluffy rice, couscous, or a simple salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Feel free to experiment with different flavors of hummus. Roasted red pepper, garlic, or even olive hummus would be delicious variations. If you don't have fresh lemon on hand, bottled lemon juice can be substituted, but fresh is always best.

Sep 25, 2024I was a little skeptical about the hummus, but it actually worked really well. The paprika adds a nice touch of smokiness. Will definitely make this again!
