Cooking Steps
• In a small pot, combine couscous, half the garlic powder, and 3⁄4 cup water (1 1⁄2 cups for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until tender, 10-12 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to use in Step 5.
• While couscous cooks, wash and dry produce. • Dice tomato into 1⁄4-inch pieces. Trim and quarter cucumber lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1⁄4-inch-thick pieces. Drain and rinse olives, then roughly chop. Pick and roughly chop fronds from dill.
• Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. Season with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
• While chicken cooks, in a small bowl, combine SabraTM Classic Hummus, remaining garlic powder, 1 TBSP olive oil, and 2 tsp vinegar (2 TBSP olive oil and 4 tsp vinegar for 4 servings). (Save remaining vinegar for another use.) • Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
• In a large bowl, combine couscous, tomato, cucumber, olives, half the dill, half the chicken, and a drizzle of olive oil. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide dilly couscous between shallow bowls. Top with remaining chicken and drizzle with creamy hummus sauce. Garnish with remaining dill and serve.
Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
I really liked this. I was worried all the dill would be overpowering but it blended nicely with everything else. I added extra tomato and would have added more cucumber if I had had any, and added a small handful of walnuts for some extra texture. It was really tasty.
The hummus vinegar dressing was surprisingly a perfect pair! This meal felt very healthy and light but also filling. I loved how simple, easy and delicious this meal was!
You have to offer this one again! The dish was definitely on the lighter side, which was a nice change. Great flavors and I loved the hummus dressing on it. The dill was a great addition!
This one was right up my wife's alley, the fresh dill was so good and the humus sauce was so good all mixed up with fresh cucumbers and tomatoes a delicious combo
I was looking forward to this one, and now I know why! It was tasty. Loved the olives and different flavor profile from many other HF meals. I think I would have preferred a lemon to the vinegar, but either way it was good.
Great, unique ingredients, e.g., olives, hummus. Loved that it could be eaten hot or cold.
I gave this a 4 but would rather a 3.5 because it's not AS good as Salmon Limone. Mostly I expected a warm bowl, not a cold bowl. Cook tomatoes will be okay but perhaps zucchini would be better than cucs if combining with warm chicken. I liked the hummas dill sauce.
I liked the olives and the humus mixed with the vinegar, was a smart combo. Chicken even mixed in was bland, maybe needed some seasoning besides salt and pepper. I just felt like it had a lot of potential but missed the mark completely.
Excellent recipe but more couscous needs to be included in the box. There wasn't enough couscous for two people.
One of our favorite meals we made so far. The hummus sauce was amazing 👏
