- Heat the Herb Infused Oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the salad: In a separate bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion. Squeeze half a lemon over the vegetables and toss gently.
- To assemble the bowls, spread a generous amount of Al Safwa Hummus with Tahini evenly across the bottom of four individual serving bowls.
- Divide the cooked spiced chicken among the four bowls, placing it over the hummus.
- Top the chicken with the fresh tomato and cucumber salad.
- Garnish each bowl with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with warm White Arabic Bread and lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy your delicious and healthy dinner!
Pro Tips
- For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
- Feel free to add other fresh vegetables like bell peppers or olives to your salad for more variety.
- A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil over the hummus before serving adds a lovely finishing touch.
