Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into 1-inch-thick pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Zest and quarter lemon.
• Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, a big pinch of salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add almonds and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2-4 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out pan. • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with Turkish Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
• While chicken cooks, add apricots, scallion greens, lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, a large drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to bowl with almonds; stir to combine. Set aside. • In a medium bowl, whisk together hummus, yogurt, a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
• Fluff rice with a fork. • Divide rice, carrots, and chicken between bowls in separate sections. Drizzle with hummus sauce. Top with gremolata. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
It was pretty good! I did like the tangy hummus sauce and the gremolata. The carrots helped with adding sweetness to the flavor profile. My issue was the chicken. It was supposed to be strips but ended up getting super shredded crumbles in the package, which made the cooking vary.
Surprisingly delicious! The roasted carrots and chicken offered a perfect balance of sweet and salty, the chicken was tender, and the addition of the yogurt sauce was just the right touch.
Really enjoyed the hummus sauce and gremolata ingredients and flavor. The chicken strips were truly strips and not shreds. Easy to make, too.
Probably could have cooked chicken in the oven with the carrots, like with other recipes to make it a bit easier. Time is never what's on the card when cooking alone.
Watch the almonds carefully so they don't burn! The apricots give it a nice touch, and the tangy hummus sauce was just right.
Very flavorful. The spice on the chicken has the perfect amount of kick. It doesn't linger. A lot of steps but totally worth it.
This dish was absolutely delicious. I like how all the flavors came together. I'm getting a little tired of carrots so for the 2nd meal, I'll add a bowl of broccoli and cauliflower.
That turkish spice blend is so good, and so are the apricots, and so is the hummus sauce, this is a good one
Loved the Turkish spice!!! Such an amazing combination with the carrot, lemon, humus and spice profiles!
Spicier than we expected but real thankful for the hummus and yogurt. Not enough apricots for me. Should have had some in the house but I guess I ate them
