Roasted Chicken Thighs with Zucchini and Couscous

Roasting chicken thighs with their skin on helps keep the meat moist, while the pan juices lend lusciousness to the zucchini that roasts alongside.

Prep: 10 minutes
Total: 35 minutes

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 8 chicken thighs
  • 2 zucchini (about 1 pound total), halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with rack in upper third. Season chicken with salt and pepper; place, skin side down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes.
  2. Remove sheet from oven, and turn chicken, skin side up. Scatter zucchini around chicken, and season with salt and pepper; toss with pan juices. Return sheet to oven, and continue to roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 7 to 10 minutes more.
  3. Meanwhile, bring 1 1/4 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan; season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, and stir in couscous. Cover, and let stand until all the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff couscous with a fork. Stir in parsley, vinegar, roasted zucchini, and 2 tablespoons pan juices; season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken with zucchini and couscous.
