Hummus Crusted Chicken Recipe

4

Ingredients

1 15- to 16-oz. can navy beans, rinsed and drained
3 Tbsp. olive oil
3 Tbsp. lime or lemon juice
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Salt and ground black pepper
2 cups coarse soft bread crumbs
2 to 3 Tbsp. olive oil
Lime or lemon wedges

Preparation

Step 1

1. For hummus, in a blender or food processor combine beans, the 3 tablespoons olive oil and the lime juice; process until smooth. Set aside ⅓ cup of the hummus for another use.

2. Sprinkle chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Spread chicken with remaining hummus; roll in bread crumbs.

3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook 12 minutes or until no pink remains (170 degrees F), turning once. Add more oil, if needed. If crumbs brown too quickly, reduce heat. Serve with lime wedges.
