A fragrant and tangy chicken dish that will transport you to North Africa. Chicken is stewed with briny green olives, sweet currants, and toasted almonds and served over couscous for a faithful take on the comforting tagine dishes you find in Tunisia and Morocco. A side of harissa-infused butternut squash purée brings a pop of spicy creaminess with just a hint of welcome sweetness.
