  4. Top each salad with a sliced chicken breast and as much hummus as your heart desires.

Notes

  • Storage: How to store leftovers: Seal leftovers in airtight containers and refrigerate. They last well for up to 3 days, but remember to add the hummus fresh each time you serve.
  • Freezing: Can you freeze this? It’s best to freeze only the cooked chicken. The veggies may become soggy once thawed, so consider freezing the chicken alone.
  • Pairing: What to serve with this dish? Consider pairing it with whole grain pita bread or a side of quinoa for a well-rounded meal.
  • Veggie Variations: Feel free to swap in your favorite salad veggies, such as bell peppers or avocados, for a new twist.
  • Flavor Boost: Add spices like paprika or cumin to the chicken before roasting for an extra flavor kick.
