Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and coat a baking sheet with a light layer of oil.
- Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to form thin fillets and arrange them on the prepared sheet.
- Season the fillets with salt and black pepper, then spread ¼ cup of hummus over each piece and drizzle with a bit more oil.
- Bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 12–15 minutes, then remove the sheet from the oven.
- While the chicken cooks, rinse the zucchini, trim, and cut into medium dice; place in a medium bowl. Peel, halve, and dice the onion and add it to the bowl.
- Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and swirl in a small amount of oil.
- Add the zucchini and onion to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 2–3 minutes.
- Roughly chop the roasted peppers and add them to the pan along with the marinara sauce, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes; remove from heat.
- Thinly slice the baked chicken into strips.
- To serve, spoon the zucchini-pepper-tomato stew onto plates and top with the sliced chicken.
Two tips
- Prep the vegetables up to a day ahead and refrigerate to save time at mealtime.
- Leftovers can be stored separately as chicken and stew and reheated together for a quick follow-up meal.
