Prep time

Ingredients
- Garlic Clove: 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- Cherry Tomato: handful cherry tomatoes (about 8)
- Olive Oil: 1 tbsp olive oil
- Red Onion: 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
- Carrot: 1 medium carrot, cut into small chunks
- Couscous: 50g couscous
- Courgette: 1 medium courgette, cut into small chunks
- Parsley: 1/2 small pack parsley or mint, roughly chopped
- Chilli Flakes: 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
- Paprika: 1/2 tsp paprika
- Sweet Chilli Sauce: drizzle sweet chilli sauce (optional)
- Mushroom: 85g mushroom, quartered
- Chicken Thigh: 2 bone-in chicken thighs, skin on
Directions
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the vegetables and garlic on a baking tray. Season well, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and mix until everything is coated.
- Sprinkle the spices and some seasoning over the chicken thighs, then rub into the skin and flesh. Drizzle a little oil over the skin and nestle the thighs among the veg. Roast in the oven for 25-30 mins until the vegetables are starting to crisp and the chicken is cooked through.
- About 10 mins before the chicken and vegetables are done, put the couscous in a bowl and just cover with boiling water, cover with cling film and set aside for 5 mins.
- Fork through the couscous to separate the grains. Toss the vegetables and parsley or mint through the couscous, season, then transfer to a serving plate. Top with the chicken and drizzle over the sweet chilli sauce, if you like.
