It's entirely plausible that there's at least one habitable moon orbiting an exoplanet we've already discovered. Somewhere in our catalogues there could be a hidden gem where we actually have the coordinates, distance, distance from sun, and data on the planet that moon orbits.

We just don't know it yet because our instruments can't resolve moons around exoplanets yet.
Actually there is a possibility of one system thats been discovered with two jovians in it's stars Habital zone, each of which could sport habitable moons.

Not saying they will, but its certainly possible.
