- Place peppers directly over the flame of a gas burner or possibly a charcoal fire.
- When one side is completely charred, turn and continue cooking till they are blackened all over, about 8 to 10 min. Alternatively, broil them about 4 inches from the heat for 10 to 15 min till they are blackened all over. Place them in a paper bag and set aside for about 15 min.
- Peel off skin and throw away membrane and seeds. Chop flesh coarsely and place in a food processor or possibly blender along with garlic, onion, chili oil and cayenne. Process till smooth. (The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.)
- Brush 1 tsp. oil lightly over both sides of chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper and grill or possibly broil for about 3 min per side, or possibly till no longer pink inside. Chill till cooled.
- Place couscous and 1/2 tsp. salt in a shallow heatproof dish. Stir in 1+1/2 c. boiling water and 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil. Cover and let stand for 10 min. Fluff with a fork, then chill till cooled.
- Heat 1 tsp. oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add in mushrooms and saute/fry for 2 to 3 min, or possibly till softened. Set aside to cold.
- In a small bowl, whisk together chicken stock, vinegar and 1/8 tsp, salt.
- Gradually whisk in 2 Tbsp. oil. In a large bowl, combine 1/2-c. red-pepper sauce, couscous, mushrooms, tomato, arugula or possibly watercress, chives and pine nuts. Add in chicken stock mix and toss well. Mound on plates.
- Slice chicken thinly and arrange in a fan pattern over the couscous.
- Garnish with parsley and serve with additional red-pepper sauce.

- NOTES : Try the couscous hot with grilled fish or possibly at room temperature with canned tuna or possibly make it as a vegetarian dish, substituting vegetable stock for chicken stock.
