    Beware the cooking time of 4-5 minutes each side for the chicken breasts. I used a hot griddle pan for the alloted time and found the breasts totally raw inside. I had to butterfly each breast and give another 5 mins approx to cook through and at the same time keep the mashed and runner beans hot. In the end, got away with it and thoroughly enjoyed the fully cooked chicken!!!! Only 3 stars due to the timing.

    Nice combination with the houmous but found it worked better with skin on chicken breasts, as it was a lot more tastier!
