step 1

Prepare the ingredients

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Roughly chop the olives. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling. In a large bowl, combine the sliced onion and sliced pepper.

step 2

Cook the couscous

In a small pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped garlic and sliced white bottoms of the scallions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until slightly softened. Add the couscous, currants, a big pinch of salt, and 3/4 cup of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); stir to combine. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, turn off the heat. Cover and let stand 6 to 8 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the couscous is tender. Fluff with a fork. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

step 3

Cook the chicken & vegetables

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Add to the bowl of sliced onion and pepper. Season with salt and pepper; stir to coat. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken and vegetables in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the chopped olives. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the chicken is cooked through. Turn off the heat. Stir in the romesco sauce until thoroughly combined. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
