The spiced chicken atop these bowls is ready fast with the help of the broiler. Serve with warm whole-wheat pita for scooping up extra hummus at the bottom of the bowl.

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 2 cups hummus

  • 1 English cucumber, halved lengthwise and sliced

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
