## Ingredients

- 2 cups couscous
- 1 salt
- 1 cumin
- 1 smoked paprika
- 1 all-purpose
- 1 garlic powder
- 1 lemon juice
- 1 garlic and ginger paste
- 1 harissa paste
- 1 olive oil
- 6 skinless boneless chicken thighs
- 0.5 half a white onion
- 1 courgettes
- 1 eggplant
- 1 green and red peppers
- 1 chicken broth
- 1 lemon zest
- 1 fresh parsley

## Instructions

1. Lay out some cumin, salt, smoked paprika, all-purpose, and garlic powder on a plate.
2. Throw that into a large bowl, squeeze in some lemon juice, followed by some garlic and ginger paste, harissa paste, and some olive oil.
3. Throw in six skinless boneless chicken thighs and marinate for as long as you can be bothered.
4. Throw the chicken thighs in the pan and look for a nice little char on each side.
5. Remove from the heat and find the other half of the lemon we used to marinade the chicken and squeeze that into the pan to deglaze and get all the flavor from the bottom.
6. Throw in half a white onion and soften that down.
7. Go in with some courgettes, eggplant, and some green and red peppers.
8. Cook that down for about five minutes, go in with some salt, and then finally the chopped garlic.
9. Switch to a bigger pan and add the cooked vegetables.
10. Make some chicken broth and mix that in the same pan that I seasoned the chicken to get all the remaining flavor marinade.
11. Pour the chicken back into the pan, followed by the stock and marinade mix.
12. Give that a good mix, season with some salt, and cover for about 20 minutes until the chicken was nice and cooked.
13. Remove the chicken from the pan.
14. Throw in two cups of couscous and cook that for about six minutes until it was thoroughly cooked.
15. Squeeze in some grated lemon zest.
16. Give that a good mix, add the chicken, and garnish with some fresh parsley.
