Hummus Baked Chicken Breast

Published: Sep 10, 2024 Modified: Mar 9, 2025 ·by Amber Bogardus / This post may contain affiliate links.

JUMP TO RECIPE

If you're looking for a simple yet flavorful dinner, this Hummus Baked Chicken Breast is the perfect solution! Juicy chicken breasts are coated with creamy hummus and baked to perfection, creating a tender, delicious meal with minimal effort. The hummus adds a rich, garlicky flavor while keeping the chicken breast moist and full of flavor.

I get bored with just regular grilled or baked chicken breast. I like to try new things every now and then to change it up a bit. And I live for Greek flavors! So I decided a few weeks ago to try schmearing some hummus over a couple chicken breasts, and the result was amazing!

I've made this recipe 4 times since originally making it a couple weeks ago. It's just so tasty, and incredibly simple! And my kiddo loves it! Score!

What do you need to make Hummus Baked Chicken Breasts?

  • chicken breasts
  • garlic powder, salt, pepper
  • hummus - flavor of your choice, but I love to use the red pepper flavor for this!
  • paprika - adds a nice color and a tasty smoky element!

Is there any equipment needed for this recipe?

I recommend baking these on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy clean up!

How to make Hummus Baked Chicken Breasts:

Preheat the oven to 400°.

Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

Stir the hummus (if you got the red pepper flavor) so the red pepper is mixed into the hummus. Spread this in an even layer over each piece of chicken.

Sprinkle a light dusting of paprika.

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the chicken measures 165° internally.

Slice and enjoy!

Storage:

This chicken keeps very well, and of course stays very moist! I love to make it for meal prep.

There isn't as much of a crisp when you reheat it, but that isn't bothersome for me.

What to serve with Hummus Baked Chicken Breasts?

I love to serve this Mediterranean Couscous Salad with this chicken! It's a delicious flavor combo! Would also go great with some pita and Tzatziki sauce!
