Persimmon chicken is a delicious meal that has a balance of savoury and sweet flavours. The roast chicken breast provides protein, while the persimmon adds a unique sweetness. The harissa yoghurt honey dressing adds a creamy, tangy and slightly spicy element.

As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...
Pot
Dutch Oven or Oven Proof Pan
Preheat oven to 180°C. Peel and mince garlic. Mix yoghurt, garlic, honey and harissa together. Season with salt and pepper. Marinate the chicken with 2 tablespoons of marinade (keeping the rest for step 6), cover and set aside.
Cut persimmons into wedges. Peel and cut onion into wedges. Trim broccolini ends and cut in half. Slice zucchini. Pick parsley leaves and roughly chop, discarding stems.
Heat a Dutch oven or ovenproof pan on medium high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add chicken and persimmon wedges and sear for 1-2 minutes each side. Add wine to deglaze.
Add zucchini, broccolini and onion to the pan with the chicken and persimmons. Roast for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
In a pot add couscous and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to the boil, then turn down to simmer for 10 minutes with the lid on, stirring occasionally. Couscous is cooked when all the liquid has been absorbed. Once cooked, fluff couscous with a fork, stir the butter through and season with salt and pepper.
Divide couscous between plates and top with chicken and veg. Top with remaining yoghurt harissa dressing (to taste) and garnish with parsley leaves. Enjoy!
