# How to Make It:

01 - Dice the chicken (or keep breasts whole for grilling), mince garlic, and chop cucumber, tomatoes or bell pepper, and parsley.
02 - In a bowl, combine chicken with olive oil, garlic, tomato paste, honey, chili flakes, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Coat thoroughly and marinate for 20–30 minutes, or up to 2 hours refrigerated.
03 - Preheat grill to medium-high. If using whole breasts, grill 5–7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest before dicing.
04 - Option A: Place marinated diced chicken in a grill basket and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Option B: Thread chicken onto skewers and grill 3–4 minutes per side until cooked through.
05 - Combine diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes or bell pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt in a bowl. Toss gently to mix.
06 - Spread hummus evenly in the bottom of each bowl. Layer grilled lemon chili chicken on top, followed by the fresh cucumber salad. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle smoked paprika or chili powder over hummus. Garnish with chopped parsley.
07 - Enjoy immediately as is or accompany with warm pita bread.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
