Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, freshly minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon chili flakes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
8 ounces cucumbers, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
3 tablespoons tahini-based hummus

To serve, layer hummus in bowls, top with warm chicken, then cucumber salad. Garnish with herbs if desired.
