Single Serve Hummus Chicken Bowl
This bowl is one of my favorite “assembled not cooked” meals for busy days. When you spend all day feeding a family, sometimes lunch needs to be fast, fresh, and built from ingredients already hanging out in the fridge. This recipe is exactly that. It’s packed with protein, vegetables, and flavor, but it comes together in just a few minutes.
I especially love recipes like this for using leftover chicken thighs from my loaf pan chicken recipe. The hummus makes it feel hearty and satisfying, while the crunchy vegetables and lemon vinaigrette keep everything bright and fresh. This is also one of those meals that reminds me why keeping cooked protein in the fridge changes everything.
