Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

   • In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, and ground cumin.
   • Add the chicken tenderloins and skinless chicken breasts to the marinade.
   • Cover and let it marinate for several hours or overnight for maximum flavor.

2. Cook the Chicken:

   • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
   • Cook the marinated chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
   • Once cooked, set aside to cool.

3. Prepare the Vegetables:

   • Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
   • Peel the carrots and use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin strips.
   • Rinse the fresh mint leaves and pat them dry.

4. Assemble the Picnic Loaf:

   • Carefully slice the bread loaf in half lengthways, creating a top and bottom.
   • Spread a generous layer of hummus evenly over both cut sides of the loaf.

5. Layer the Fillings:

   • On the bottom half of the loaf, arrange a layer of sliced red onions.
   • Next, add a layer of chicken tenderloins and sliced chicken breasts.
   • Follow with a layer of carrot strips and fresh mint leaves.
   • Finish with another layer of chicken on top.

6. Complete the Assembly:

   • Place the top half of the bread loaf over the layered fillings, creating a sandwich.
   • Wrap the entire loaf tightly in plastic wrap to hold everything together.
   • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

7. Slice and Serve:

   • After chilling, carefully unwrap the picnic loaf.
   • Use a sharp knife to cut the loaf into 6 equal portions.
   • For easy serving, you can secure each portion with string or skewers.
