- Dice the cucumber and tomato. Do not rinse the chicken. Pat it dry, season both sides with salt and pepper, and wash the board, knife, and hands with soap and water before touching anything else.
- Warm the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken until browned and the thickest part reaches 165°F (74°C), about 5-7 minutes per side. Rest briefly, then slice.
- Prepare the couscous according to the package directions until fluffy and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Stir the hummus with lemon juice and a splash of water. Combine the couscous, chickpeas, cucumber, and tomato, then top with chicken and dressing.
