Lazy Meal

This post is for Jordan, who wants to see a show that can top Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals...5 Minute Meals perhaps. This dish takes little preparation - all you have to do is chop some stuff, stick it in the oven, slap some sauce on it and it's good to go. So I don't know what to call it....so I'll just call it Lazy Chicken with Hummus

Ingredients:
3 pieces of thinly sliced chicken breaast
handful of chopped parsley
2 medium sized zucchinis, chopped
cumin
juice of one lemon
olive oil
salt & pepper
hummus and/or babaghanouj
bagged salad

Directions:
Preheat the oven at 350 degrees
Slice the chicken into little pieces
chop the zucchinis
chop the parsley
combine the chicken, zucchini and parsley in a baking pan
Sprinkle some cumin on top (maybe 1 teaspoon? i kind of just eyeball it...less if you don't really like the taste of cumin)
sprinkle the salt and ground pepper on top
Whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil (again, just eyeball it...enough so that all of the chicken and zucchini will be be covered, but not drenched in the lemon juice and olive oil)
Cover the chicken and zucchini with the lemon/olive oil combination, shake the pan a little bit or combine everything with your hands
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes (or until the chicken is cooked)

mix it in with the bagged salad and add a few generous dollops of hummus and/or babaghanouj on top.

Not exactly the most flavorful thing you'll ever eat, but it's good, filling and healthy.
