Woo hoo! Healthy snacking made easy and SO tasty. This Loaded Hummus Board is full of delicious appetizer type snacks that are on the lighter and healthier side for a snacking that tastes delicious. This board is perfect for the Super Bowl as a healthier appetizer platter.

Loaded Hummus Board is full of homemade hummus dip, Greek chicken skewers, peppers, veggies, pita bread, olives and more. A delicious board that will keep you snacking for any get together but is lighter so you don't get that super full feeling that no one likes. 

I love whipping up a huge batch of this hummus and snacking on it all week. It is awesome with veggies or spread on a sandwich. The chicken skewers are a fun way to serve the chicken since it is for an appetizer. I marinated the chicken in an Italian herb blend, lemon juice, olive oil, onion powder and garlic powder. You can grill the chicken, bake it or even pan fry it and just add the skewer in after to make it easy to eat. It is delicious dipped in the hummus or on its own.

Feel free to make this board your own and add in whatever ingredients you have on hand and like best. Cucumber, peppers, broccoli, celery, carrots or anything really would be great for the veggies. You can use crackers, pretzels, pita bread or anything like that for your grain.

This delicious Loaded Hummus Board is packed with grilled Greek chicken skewers, homemade hummus, peppers, veggies, pita bread, olives and more! 

Prep time: 15 MINS  Cook time: 10 MINS  Total time: 25 mins

INGREDIENTS

• Greek Chicken Skewers
• Zest from 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons Italian blend spices
• 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts- cut into thin strips
• Garlic Hummus
• 1-14.5 ounce can low-sodium chickpeas, drained but save 2 tablespoons liquid
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Zest from 1 lemon
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder- skip if needed
• Board ingredients
• 1 cup carrot sticks
• 1 cup mini bell peppers
• 1 cup sliced cucumber
• 1 cup sliced celery
• 1 cup sliced pitas
• 25 Crunchmaster crackers (or any crackers)
• 1/2 cup kalamata olives

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place all of the ingredients for the chicken skewers in a zipped bag or a closed container and mix well. Add in the chicken strips. If time allows, let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. In a food processor, blend the chickpeas, olive oil, garlic salt, 2 tablespoons of chickpea liquid, lemon zest and onion powder until the chickpeas are very smooth. You may need to scrape the sides with a spatula to ensure everything is well blended. Scoop into a small bowl to serve.

3. Remove the chicken strips from the bag one at a time and skewer on a kebab stick. Grill chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side until chicken is cooked through and has some grill marks. Alternatively, you can cook the chicken in a large skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil until cooked through and then add skewers after the chicken is cooked.

4. Slice all of your veggies and pita. On a large cutting board or another serving board, arrange the hummus, chicken skewers, veggies, pitas, crackers and olives. 

Tips: The hummus can be made a day or two before. The chicken can be marinated the night before so you just need to grill it the day of if you prefer.

Enjoy!
