1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 pound skinned, boned chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 1/2 cups water, divided
20 bite-size pitted prunes (about 4 1/2 ounces)
vegetable cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil

3. Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray; add oil. Place over medium heat until hot. Add ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add onion, and sauté 8 minutes. Add chicken, remaining 1/2 cup water, prunes, reserved 1/4 cup cooking liquid, and chicken broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes or until chicken is done.
4. Place couscous on a serving platter; top with chicken mixture, and sprinkle with almonds.
