Spicy Almond Currant Chicken with Couscous

My mom gave this recipe to me several years ago, but I never made it until last night. What a delicious surprise! I loved it!

1 tbsp olive oil

1/4 slivered almonds

2 garlic cloves, minced

6-8 skinless chicken thighs

2 cups spicy salsa (thick and chunky)

1/2 cup water

2 tbsp honey

1/4 cup currants

1 1/2 tsp cumin

1 tsp cinnamon

Season both sides of chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in skillet and add almonds, cook 2 minutes. Remove. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds and add chicken. Brown 5 minutes on each side. In a bowl, combine remaining ingredients and add to chicken. Bring to boil, then simmer 20 minutes. Stir in almonds and serve over hot couscous.
