Description

Make an easy, flavorful dinner tonight with these One-Pan Chicken Thighs with Couscous. This recipe delivers comforting results with minimal cleanup, just like family cooking should be.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 1 cup Dry couscous
  • 1/2 cup Chopped vegetables (like carrots or bell peppers)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rub the chicken thighs with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika in a baking dish.
  3. Arrange the chopped vegetables around the chicken.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes.
  5. While the chicken bakes, bring the chicken broth to a boil in a small saucepan.
  6. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Pour the boiling broth over the dry couscous spread evenly in the dish around the chicken.
  7. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.
  8. Return the covered dish to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the couscous has absorbed the liquid.
  9. Remove from the oven, let stand for 5 minutes, then fluff the couscous with a fork.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • You can use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs; just add 10-15 minutes to the initial baking time.
  • Feel free to substitute the vegetables with what you have on hand, like zucchini or frozen peas.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried oregano with the spices on the chicken.
