Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/Fan180ºC/gas 6.
  2. Put the chicken pieces into an ovenproof dish and season with freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle over the spices, garlic and tsp of olive oil. Cover and leave flavours to mingle for a few mins or longer if you've time. Roast for 20 mins until the chicken is golden.
  3. Put the courgettes, red pepper and carrots into a roasting tin and drizzle with the remaining 1tsp olive oil. Roast for 15 mins, add the tomatoes and cook for 5 more mins until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Put the couscous into a bowl and pour over 200ml boiling water or stock. Leave for a few minutes for all the liquid to absorb.
  5. Mix the yogurt with the fresh coriander leaves. Serve alongside the spicy chicken and roasted vegetables.
