Cooking Instructions:

1. TO PREPARE THE COUSCOUS:
Fill a pot with boiling water from the kettle, season with salt and bring back up to the boil over a high heat. Once boiling, add the pearl couscous, turn the heat to medium and cook for 12 mins. Drain well into a colander, fluff with a fork and set aside.
2. TO PREPARE AND COOK THE VEGETABLES:
Slice the roasted capsicum into ½ cm strips. Peel and cut the red onion into ½ cm slices. Spray a non-stick frying pan with oil and place over a medium-high heat. Add the capsicum and onion then cook for 3-4 mins. Place the vegetables into a salad bowl with the giant couscous. Just before serving, add the mizuna then pour over the orange and honey dressing, season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
3. TO PREPARE AND COOK THE CHICKEN:
Remove the free-range chicken thighs from their packaging and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut each thigh into 3 even pieces and place into a bowl. Add the baharat spices, drizzle with olive oil and mix until coated. Respray the pan with oil and place back over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 3-4 mins on each side or until cooked through - adjusting the heat if necessary.
TO SERVE:
Spoon the giant couscous and vegetables onto plates. Top with Baharat chicken and dollop with coriander yoghurt.
