Ingredients:

1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
2 chicken breasts
240g
1 tsp paprika
2.10g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
3 cups spinach
90g
3/4 red onion
70g
2 lemon
220g
6 tbsp hummus
90g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Thinly slice the red onion.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly and set aside to drain.
- Halve the lemons; juice one and cut the other into wedges for serving.
- Finely chop the coriander leaves.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray oil.
- Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
4. Prepare the Spinach:
- Using the same skillet, lightly sauté the spinach until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes. If preferred, you can leave the spinach raw for a fresher texture.
5. Assemble the Bowl:
- In each serving bowl, place a generous handful of spinach as the base.
- Top with the thinly sliced red onion.
- Arrange the sliced chicken breast over the spinach and onion.
- Add 3 tablespoons of hummus to each bowl, either in a dollop or spread on the side.
- Drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
6. Finish and Garnish:
- Sprinkle the coriander leaves over the top of each bowl for freshness and a burst of color.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for additional squeezing, if desired.

Tips:

- Marinate the chicken: For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in paprika, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

- Use fresh ingredients: Opt for fresh spinach and red onion for best results; they’ll add vibrant color and a burst of flavor.

- Cook chicken thoroughly: Ensure the chicken is cooked through for food safety. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

- Customize your bowl: Feel free to add other vegetables like cherry tomatoes or cucumber to your bowl for extra crunch and nutrients.

- Serve immediately: Serve this dish immediately after preparation to enjoy the fresh and vivid flavors at their peak.

The Chicken Hummus Bowl with Spinach is not only pleasing to the eye but also packed with nutrients. The combination of protein-rich chicken and chickpeas from the hummus, along with fresh greens, makes for a balanced and flavorful meal.
