Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup classic hummus
1 lemon, juiced and zested
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce
2 (12 oz) jars roasted red bell peppers, drained and chopped
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 medium zucchini squash, diced

Method

1
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Coat a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
2
Place the chicken breasts on the baking sheet. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, lemon zest, rosemary, and thyme.
3
Spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus over each chicken breast, then drizzle with the remaining olive oil and half of the lemon juice.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
5
While the chicken is baking, heat a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the diced onion and zucchini until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
6
Stir in the chopped roasted red peppers, marinara sauce, dried oregano, and the rest of the lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
7
Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the stew cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
8
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into strips.
9
To serve, spoon the vegetable stew onto plates and top with the sliced lemon herb chicken. Enjoy!
