Preheat the oven to 450u00b0. In a bowl, toss the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the oil and the coriander; season with salt and pepper.

Turn on the broiler and broil for 2 minutes, until the skin is crisp and golden.

Stir one-third of the dressing into the couscous and transfer to a platter. Arrange the chicken on top and serve right away, passing the extra dressing on the side.
