Currants and cinnamon lend a spicy-sweet flavor to this swinging salsa-style chicken dish. It is served with couscous, a Mediterranean favorite that is becoming increasingly popular in North America.


   1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
   1/4 cup coarsely chopped almonds
   2 garlic cloves, minced
   8 chicken thighs, skin removed
   1 cup salsa
   1/4 cup water
   2 tablespoons dried currants or raisins
   1 tablespoon honey
   3/4 teaspoon cumin
   1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
   3 cups hot cooked couscous or rice


Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add almonds; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove almonds from skillet with slotted spoon; set aside.

Add garlic to skillet; cook and stir 30 seconds. Add chicken; cook 4 to 5 minutes or until browned, turning once.

In medium bowl, combine salsa and all remaining ingredients except couscous; mix well. Add to chicken; mix well. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook 20 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear, stirring occasionally. Stir in almonds. Serve chicken mixture with couscous.
