PUBLIX PERFECT PANKO CHICKEN WITH HUMMUS



Publix Perfect Panko Chicken With Hummus image

I haven't made this (yet), but at Publix grocery stores (FL, GA and SC), they have a feature called Apron's Simple Meals and they provide recipe cards and have a kiosk where they cook a different meal idea each week. I don't live in FL any more, but while I have been down visiting my mom, this was the feature. It tasted very good. The cilantro/jalapeno hummus may not be available everywhere as it was their deli brand, but I'm sure you could use a variation.

HUMMUS AND SPINACH STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS



Hummus and Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

This unique creation adapted from Je Mange la Ville is easy and impressive. It's tempting to overstuff the chicken but it may spill out into the sauce. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken.

Provided by FLKeysJen

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 45m

Yield 2 stuffed breasts, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup hummus (roasted garlic is good)
8 spinach leaves (more or less)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt
pepper
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup chicken broth
spices (your favorite spice blend, we used Paul Prudhomme's Poultry Magic)

Steps:

  • Spread a piece of plastic wrap out over a cutting board and lay a chicken breast down. Fold a layer of the plastic wrap over it and pound the breast out until it's much thinner. Repeat with the other breast.
  • Sprinkle a little seasoning mix and lay down some spinach leaves on each flattened piece of chicken. Divide the hummus between the breasts. Sprinkle each with a little Parmesan.
  • Roll up, and sprinkle each chicken roll-up with some salt, pepper, a little more seasoning mix and some Parmesan cheese. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Then, add the chicken, seasoned and parmed side down. Go ahead and season the side facing up and let it brown for a couple of minutes.
  • Flip it over and brown the second side. Add the orange juice and broth to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Cover partially and let cook until the chicken is done (cut open or wait until a thermometer says 165 degrees - make sure you are checking the hummus temperature too).
  • Serve the chicken with orange sauce drizzled over it.

Tips:

  • Use dried chickpeas: Dried chickpeas are more flavorful and economical than canned chickpeas. Just remember to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Cook the chickpeas until they're tender: The chickpeas should be soft but still hold their shape. Overcooked chickpeas will be mushy.
  • Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender will make it easy to achieve a smooth and creamy hummus.
  • Add flavorings to taste: Hummus is a versatile dish that can be flavored with a variety of ingredients, such as garlic, lemon juice, tahini, and cumin. Experiment until you find a combination that you like.
  • Serve hummus with a variety of accompaniments: Hummus can be served with pita bread, vegetables, crackers, or chips. It can also be used as a sandwich spread or dip.

Conclusion:

Hummus is a delicious and healthy dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack or appetizer, give hummus a try!
