- Roughly chop spinach.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.

- Remove from heat, then spoon harissa-honey mixture over chicken. (NOTE: Chicken will finish cooking in step 5.)

- Broil in the middle of the oven for 8-10 min until tomatoes burst and chicken is cooked through.**

- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide couscous between bowls. Top with chicken, tomatoes and any remaining sauce in the pan.

If you've opted to get chicken breasts, season and cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to season chicken thighs. Increase pan-frying time to 6-7 min per side.**
