Hummus Chicken
Added on Jul 17, 2026
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 & 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup hummus
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place it in the prepared baking dish.
Season with garlic salt and pepper.
Spread the hummus mixture evenly over the top of each piece of chicken, making sure it's fully coated.
Top with paprika and lemon juice.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. If you'd like a little color on top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Combine garlic salt, onion salt, oregano, thyme, paprika, and pepper in a small bowl; mix until well combined. Sprinkle spice mixture liberally over chicken thighs. Bake chicken in the preheated oven until skin is crispy, thighs are no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees. Enjoy.
