Ingredients
- 🍗 Chicken Breasts: 4 pieces (about 1.5 lbs or 680 g)
- 🛢️ Olive Oil: 3 tablespoons (divided)
- 🧄 Garlic: 3 cloves (minced)
- 🌶️ Smoked Paprika: 1 teaspoon
- 🧂 Salt: to taste
- 🧂 Black Pepper: to taste
- 🌶️ Roasted Red Peppers: 1 cup (jarred or homemade)
- 🥄 Tahini: 1/4 cup
- 🍋 Lemon Juice: 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed)
- 🥙 Pita Bread: 4 pieces
- 🌿 Fresh Parsley: for garnish (chopped)
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken by combining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Cover and let sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).
- Prepare the roasted red pepper hummus by blending roasted red peppers, tahini, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Adjust consistency with water if needed.
- Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
- Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it on a serving platter. Add a generous dollop of roasted red pepper hummus and warm the pita bread on the grill. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken for longer enhances flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked perfectly.
- Warm pita bread adds a lovely touch to the dish.
- Taste the hummus before serving to adjust seasoning.
