I was totally inspired by the hummus orzo I made a few weeks back.  It was easy, creamy and flavorful.  I bought a huge container of the Sabra hummus at Costco again and decided I needed to try another recipe using the delicious stuff.

I started with some frozen boneless, skinless chicken thighs (also bought from Costco for 1.91 a pound in the frozen section).  Then I added just a few spices and cooked for about 6 hours on low.  The chicken got nice and tender and seasoned nicely.  I then shredded the chicken and stirred in some hummus.  I warmed some of the pitas (again a Costco find) and cut up some cucumber and served the chicken and cucumber on the pita.  It was a perfect summer meal and TOTALLY easy.  I didn’t even thaw the chicken.  Can’t get much easier than that!  Using the hummus is a way to add creaminess without saturated fat or dairy.  If you like chicken salad but don’t want all the mayo this could be a good way to make it…wheels are turning here!  More hummus recipes to come soon 🙂
