Step 1
In a bowl, toss the 1.5 lb chicken thighs with 3 tbsp harissa paste, coating evenly. Let sit while you prep the vegetables.
Step 2
Slice the 2 bell peppers and 2 tomatoes into wedges. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the peppers and tomatoes. Cook until softened and charred, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Meanwhile, prepare the 1 cup couscous according to package directions. Serve the chicken and vegetables over couscous, with lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
