RED PEPPER HUMMUS

You know those days when you had no idea you were having people for dinner and then that phone call comes mid-afternoon? Well, this is the quickly assembled first course that can turn a plain roast chicken, or anything else you think you can stretch for four people without much effort, into a dinner party. And actually, whenever you have to cook without time for planning, I think a roast chicken is nearly always the main course you need: It's much easier to come up with frills for before and after and alongside than to construct a fancy dinner party dish last minute. This can be in dollops on crostini (and you can buy baby toasts ready-made for the purpose in an Italian deli) or eaten as a dip and it even serves as a rather intriguing, gorgeously hued sauce for plain grilled meats.

Tips:

- To save time, buy pre-cut chicken strips or use a food processor to quickly cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. - For a crispy coating, double-coat the chicken in the flour mixture. - Use a large skillet or wok to ensure that the chicken has enough space to cook evenly without overcrowding. - Cook the chicken over medium-high heat to ensure that it cooks quickly and evenly. - Do not stir the chicken too often while cooking, as this can prevent it from getting crispy. - Serve the pepper chicken with hummus immediately, as this will help to keep the chicken crispy.

Conclusion:

This pepper chicken with hummus is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the hummus adds a creamy and tangy contrast. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. Serve it with rice, pita bread, or your favorite sides.
