Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Place the paprika, oil, honey, vinegar, garlic, onion, capsicum, currants and chicken skin side down in an oiled medium-sized baking dish. Season and toss to combine.
Roast uncovered for 40 minutes. Carefully remove the chicken, add the couscous and stock and stir to combine. Return the chicken skin side up and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the couscous is tender and chicken is golden. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the pistachio, olives, herbs and lemon juice in a small bowl, toss to combine.
Sprinkle over the herb salad mixture. Serve drizzled with a little pomegranate molasses if desired.
