Chicken and Hummus Meal Prep
Description
Chicken and Hummus Meal Prep combines cooked chicken thighs seasoned with a mixture of olive oil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, and brown sugar. After cooking until fully done, the chicken is sliced into strips and divided among meal prep containers along with hummus and naan bread. This setup is straightforward and practical for preparing balanced meals ahead of time. The chicken browns in a skillet or grill pan for about 11-12 minutes total, ensuring thorough cooking and flavor development.
The hummus adds a creamy element and acts as a dip or spread alongside the chicken strips and naan. Naan or mini pita breads provide a soft bread option to complete the meal. This recipe is useful for those seeking easy-to-pack meals with varied textures and flavors.
When cooking the chicken, it is important not to overcrowd the pan and to cook in batches if needed, replenishing the cooking fat for the second batch to maintain good browning and prevent sticking. The seasoning blend imparts a savory and slightly sweet flavor that complements the hummus and bread.
