Harissa Chicken with Herbed Couscous

Description

Harissa is a paste made of roasted peppers and spice with the name derived from the Arabic word “to break,” something that likely comes from the process of mashing the peppers to make this ubiquitous North African condiment. For this dish, we take harissa spice and season bone-in split chicken breasts, pan-roasting them until the skin is crispy and the interior juicy. We then serve the chicken atop a herbed couscous studded with sweet raisins and crunchy walnuts for a delicious meal that will transport your taste buds across the globe!
