10-minute Greek chicken and hummus bowl
10 min · 49 g protein · 465 cals / serving
A swoosh of hummus under a crunchy chopped Greek salad (romaine, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion and olives), piled with ready-cooked chicken and crumbled feta and dressed with lemon and oregano. Nothing to cook, and every forkful drags through the creamy hummus.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup hummus
- 1 heart romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cucumber, diced
- 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 8 kalamata olives, pitted, halved
- about 2 1/2 cups rotisserie chicken, ready-pulled or pre-sliced cooked chicken (or from a rotisserie chicken, skin removed)
- 3 tbsp feta cheese
Dressing
- 4 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Steps
- Spread half the hummus over the bottom of each of two wide bowls with the back of a spoon.
- Toss the romaine, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion and olives in a bowl with the lemon juice, oregano, salt and pepper; the olives and feta bring the richness, so it needs no oil.
- Pile the salad onto the hummus, top with the chicken and feta, and drag each forkful through the hummus as you eat.
Good to know
Can I pack it for lunch?
Pack the hummus, the chicken and the undressed salad in separate boxes, with the lemon and oregano in a small jar, and put it together at your desk. Dressed leaves go limp within an hour.
Can I use a whole rotisserie chicken?
Yes. Pulling 2 1/2 cups of meat off the bird and dropping the skin adds about 3 minutes; ready-pulled chicken from the chiller keeps it a ten-minute bowl.
I'd like a grain in it
A 9 oz pouch of ready-cooked quinoa or mixed grains, warmed or not, is the BBC version and makes it a bigger meal; lay half a pouch under the salad in each bowl.

Computed from the ingredients with our published formula, not yet kitchen-tested. How
As written, 929 kcal goes into the pot and 938 g of ingredients comes out as about 938 g of food: 99 kcal per 100 g. Cooking moves water and energy density is the score's biggest lever, so the dish is scored as cooked, not as an average of its parts. Every ingredient links to its food page, with the same data and score. The label's percentages are each macronutrient's share of the calories. The full formula.
