Roasted red pepper hummus stuffed chicken

Hummus is the star for this week! I received 5 free hummus samples from Sabra hummus to use within my recipes, but they have so many more flavors to choose from! I love how Sabra hummus is a plant based addition to meals. In my Cinco de Mayo recipe: Jalapeno hummus tostadas I focus on plant based. Along with a recipe, I provided research on a plant based diet. I personally am not 100% plant based, I do enjoy meat sometimes. The recipe below uses hummus to keep chicken moist, to add flavor, extra protein, and fiber. I stuffed the chicken with hummus, basil, spinach, and Jersey Greenhouse tomatoes. I folded the chicken over and topped it with more hummus and some bread crumbs. I am looking forward to making this recipe again...maybe trying a different flavor hummus!

I received free samples of Sabra mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Sabra and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.
