    This recipe is a lifesaver! So quick and easy, and the chicken comes out so moist and flavorful. My family loves it!

  • Lillian Corwin

    I 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!

  • Kaci Lubowitz

    I tried this with roasted red pepper hummus, and it was amazing! I also added some chopped tomatoes to the veggie mix. Definitely a keeper!

  • Wilhelmine Gutkowski

    Great recipe! I added a pinch of cayenne pepper to the paprika for a little extra kick. The chicken was perfectly cooked and so juicy.
