Instructions
1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of harissa paste, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and the juice of 1 lemon to create the glaze.

2

Place 4 chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the harissa glaze over them, ensuring they are well coated.

3

Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld. While the chicken is marinating, chop 1 red bell pepper, 1 zucchini, and 1 red onion into bite-sized pieces.

4

Toss the vegetables with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes.

5

After the chicken has marinated, place it in the oven alongside the vegetables and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

6

Meanwhile, prepare the couscous by bringing 1 cup of chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in 1 cup of couscous, cover, and remove from heat.

7

Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Once the chicken and vegetables are done, serve the chicken over a bed of couscous, topped with the roasted vegetables.

8

Garnish with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of feta cheese for added flavor.
