Hummus with Yogurt Chicken and Tomato

This hummus with yogurt chicken and tomato inspired by hummus bil lahmeh. The original version uses diced beef or lamb, but my version features spiced yogurt chicken and grilled tomato.

Aromatic golden chicken pieces and grilled tomato served in a bed of smooth and velvety chickpea hummus. Marinated the chicken chunks in yogurt and spices make them juicy, tender, and flavorful. Grilled the tomato also enhanced the flavor of the dish.

The beauty of this dish is that you can prepare it ahead. For the hummus you can make it a day before and keep it in refrigerator before using, you can also use store bought hummus if you feel lazy to make it. You can also marinade the chicken overnight.
