Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves
2 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/8 tsp turmeric
1 dash cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/3 cup walnuts
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup golden raisin
1 cup couscous
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp fresh scallions

Directions:

Chop up the garlic; mince the scallions. Dice up the chicken into 1/2 cubes.
Heat up the olive oil in a skillet; add the garlic and sauté for a minute or two, till the garlic starts to smell good and yummy.
Add the chicken and give it a stir to coat thoroughly in oil. Add the turmeric and salt, plus a few generous dashes of cinnamon and pepper.
Cook the chicken over medium-high heat. When the outside has mostly turned opaque, add the pine nuts. Continue cooking until the chicken is just cooked through - do your best not to overcook!
While the chicken is cooking, bring the broth to a boil in a small pot. Stir in the couscous and raisins/currants, add 1/8 tsp salt plus a few dashes of ground pepper. Cover and remove from heat; let sit for five minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoons olive oil and the minced scallions with a fork, then continue using the fork to fluff the couscous.
Stir in the chicken and pine nut mixture, and fluff some more. You can serve it hot if you like, but the dish is also good at room temperature.
