1 medium sweet yellow pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice,
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 can (14 1/2-ounce) chicken broth
1 cup water
1 box (10 ounce) frozen peas, thawed
1 1/2 pounds Chicken, cubed
1 (10-ounce) box couscous
1/2 cup pitted black olives, sliced

Heat oil in a 8 to 10 quart heavy bottomed pot. Add onion, garlic and sweet peppers; cook until peppers are tender, 8 minutes. Add salt, black pepper, thyme, pepper flakes and turmeric; cook 1 minute. Add broth, water, peas and shrimp. Simmer, covered, 2 minutes.
Remove from heat. Stir in couscous; cover; let stand 5 minutes. Serve, garnished with olives.

Um...I started to print this out to try it, and realized that this recipe isn't making sense, Ferd...is it supposed to say shrimp on the ingredients list instead of chicken?

If this is an edited recipe, won't that change the cooking time for the chicken? Or should it say "chicken, cooked, cubed?"

Thanks.
