This is a simple, and great dinner idea! You can adjust however you like, and create new flavor combinations. I like that this recipe is so versatile, and you can use whatever vegetables you have on hand, and whatever brand of hummus you like.
Some other great ideas on how to switch it up. Roasted red pepper hummus, with red peppers as one of the vegetables. Garlic hummus, and adding dill and lemon to season the veggies. The possibilities are endless.
Didn’t provide the nutrition on this particular recipe, as I didn’t measure anything when I made it.
Have fun, get creative, and enjoy!

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

- Bake for about 30-35 minutes until chicken is cooked and veggies are roasted.
