    In a large bowl add the chicken and half of the marinade, toss to coat. In a separate large bowl add the zucchini, sweet potato, and red onion, toss to combine. In a separate bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes, dates and lemon halves in a little olive oil and season with salt.
  • Step 4
    Roast the chicken, zucchini, sweet potato, red onion and the lemon halves over indirect medium heat for 35 to 40 minutes. Ensure that there is a small amount of space around each item of food for even cooking results. 20 minutes into the cooking time add the dates and cherry tomatoes, continue to cook for a further 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Step 5
    Serve the chicken, vegetables and dates with couscous and plain yogurt. Drizzle with the lemon and garnish with fresh mint.
