Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Preheat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Scrub the carrots and slice them into batons. Peel the red onion and slice it into thin wedges. Slice the tomatoes into 8 wedges each.

  • 2.

    Slide the chopped veg into a large bowl. Add the chicken mini fillets. Tip in 2 tsp ras al hanut and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour over 1 tsp olive oil and toss to coat everything in the seasoning and oil.

  • 3.

    Pop the chicken and veg into a large roasting tin (or divide them between 2 if the tin looks overcrowded) and slide into the oven roast for 20-25 mins, till the chicken is cooked through.

  • 4.

    Meanwhile, fill and boil your kettle. Tip the couscous into a heatproof bowl and add a pinch of salt. Pour over 150ml boiling water. Cover the bowl with a plate and set aside for 15 mins to soak.

  • 5.

    Add 4 tbsp yogurt to a bowl. Peel the garlic and grate it into the yogurt. Squeeze in the juice from half the lemon. Stir in a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • 6.

    Finely chop the parsley leaves. When the couscous is cooked, fluff it up with a fork and divide between a couple of plates. Top with the roast chicken and veg and serve with the garlic yogurt on the side, garnished with chopped parsley leaves.
