  • 2 tablespoons ground coriander
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 cups cooked couscous

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and place the oven rack in the upper third portion of the oven.
  2. Put the chicken in a bowl along with the oil, coriander and a few pinches of salt and pepper; toss to coat and then place the chicken on a greased baking sheet. Cook the chicken for 40 minutes, turning every so often to ensure even cooking.
