Hummus Chicken with Mexican Fried Rice (Gluten Free)

The last time I went grocery shopping they were giving samples of some organic hummus and, of course, I had to try some. While I was trying it she was giving me the whole bit about all the things I could do with it(Superbowl snacks, ha! Yeah right, like I watch football) and she mentioned coating chicken in hummus and then baking it to make a crunchy texture on it. I had never even thought of doing this before, so I decided I had to!
I got a spicy green chile version of the hummus and have been trying to come up with something fun to go along with it. It magically came to me when I got home today, Mexican Fried Rice. Yum.

Hummus Chicken

2 chicken breasts
Hummus(any variety, I used green chile)
1/4 cup finely chopped onions

Coat chicken liberally with hummus, and top with chopped onions. Bake in oven at 350. Flip after about 30 mins. After about another 15 minutes(make sure it's cooked through!), flip again and turn on broil to crisp, about 5-10 minutes.

Mexican Fried Rice

2 cups jasmine rice
4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup onions, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 jalepeno
2 cloves garlic
Cilantro

Cook rice with the chicken broth. In a separate pan, saute onions in butter. When they start to turn golden, add the rest of the vegetables(minus the cilantro) and saute for a few minutes. When the rice is cooked through, about 20 minutes, add it to the pan with the vegis. Add a few more tablespoons of butter and fry in the pan for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
