Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rub the chicken pieces with olive oil, salted herbs, black pepper, and minced garlic.

Roast the Chicken

Place the chicken in a roasting pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Prepare the Vegetables

In a separate baking tray, toss the carrots, zucchini, and red bell pepper with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Roast the Vegetables

Roast vegetables in the same oven for 30 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Prepare the Couscous

In a large bowl, combine couscous, hot chicken broth, and olive oil. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Pro tip: Ensure the broth is hot to properly steam the couscous.

Assemble the Dish

Serve the chicken and roasted vegetables over the fluffed couscous. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
