This Moroccan-inspired dish is a flavorful and healthy dinner that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is marinated in a blend of warm spices like paprika, cumin, and cinnamon, then seared until crispy. Meanwhile, you'll roast a colorful mix of root vegetables and cook up a quick batch of couscous. The total prep and cook time is about 1 hour, with some hands-off time for the chicken to marinate. Just be sure to preheat your oven and have your ingredients prepped before you get started.
