Let's dive into how you can prepare this delightful recipe!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Take the chicken breast and pat it dry using paper towels. This helps in better browning.
- On a clean cutting board, place the chicken breast.
- Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly on both sides of the chicken breast.
- Rub the minced garlic thoroughly onto both sides of the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the chicken to avoid sticking.
- Place the chicken breast in the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until it has a golden-brown crust.
4. Bake the Chicken:
- Once the chicken is seared, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. Resting helps the juices redistribute within the meat, making it juicier.
- Slice the chicken breast into thin slices.
- Plate the sliced chicken breast and accompany it with a dollop of creamy hummus on the side (about 1/4 cup).
- For an extra touch, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
- You might also drizzle a little extra olive oil over the chicken slices for added richness.
- Serve immediately while warm. This dish pairs well with a side salad, roasted vegetables, or warm pita bread.
Tips:
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors penetrate deeply.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through; it should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Try experimenting with additional herbs such as rosemary or thyme for added flavor.
- Serve the chicken alongside whole grain pita bread or over a bed of mixed greens for a complete meal.
- For extra creaminess, mix a bit of olive oil into the hummus before serving.
There you have it! A simple and flavorful garlic-infused chicken with creamy hummus. This dish is ideal for any meal of the day and pairs well with a fresh salad or a side of steamed vegetables. Enjoy your homemade, restaurant-quality meal!
