Houmous Chicken Bake

Quick, simple & super healthy humous coated chicken with British baby potatoes & roasted vegetables. Houmous is a good source of plant-based protein & has a low glycemic index (GI). Potatoes have a high GI, however, when eaten in combination with protein their GI lowers. In addition boiling potatoes in water also lowers their GI.
