An easy Harissa chicken recipe made in the slow cooker or Instant Pot can be served so many different ways!

Harrisa Chicken Recipe

chicken breasts

cumin

garlic powder

Kosher salt

mild Harissa sauce (I like Mina)

(serve with Tzatziki)

Garlic powder is ground, dehydrated garlic. It is a very common seasoning. Applications include pasta, pizza, and grilled chicken. Garlic salt is simply salt plus garlic powder. (Pre-made products usually include an anti-caking agent.) Garlic powder is a common component of spice mix. It is also a common component of seasoned salt.

Optional

Season the chicken with the cumin, garlic powder, pinch of salt, and pepper.

Place chicken in a slow cooker, pour the harissa over the chicken, and cover. Cook on HIGH for 2 hours or LOW 4 hours.

Remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred with two forks.

Slow Cooker Directions:

Place chicken in the pressure cooker, pour the harissa over the chicken and cook high pressure 20 minutes. Quick or natural release then shred with two forks. If using frozen chicken breasts, cook 25 minutes.

Pressure Cooker Directions:

We make this over and over. Everyone that has had it really enjoyed it.

Made the harissa from your scratch recipe, delicious! Used the instant pot on slow cooker option to make the chicken with the harissa and it came out perfect! Want to try the harissa with pork and maybe add some potatoes into the sauce. Love all your recipes and have 4 of your cookbooks.

This is so easy and so delicious! I made it in the crockpot. My family loved it!

So easy and so delicious. It’s a favorite in my  house and it’s perfect for to take for lunch at work.

Love this recipe! So quick and easy and turns out phenomenal every time. I can never find harissa sauce at the store, so I just follow the directions on how to make my own and pop it all in the crockpot. I usually eat it with quinoa as I’m not a big fan of chickpea texture.

I love this recipe. I eat it with chickpeas , cucumbers, and tzatziki . I meal prep it for lunch. Using chicken thighs this time.

We make this over and over.   I just finished making a triple batch and freezing two.  Skinny taste is my go to recipe site!

This is such a yummy and easy dinner! We love Harissa and opted to use the spicy Harissa instead of the mild. A little hot for me, but I just piled on the Tzatziki to cool it down. My husband found the spice level to be perfect. 
We love this on some homemade pita bread (adapted from the skinnytaste easy bagel recipe). We just make the bagel recipe as written, but add 1 tsp instant yeast to the dry ingredients. Let it rise in a warm place, then punch down the dough, divide into 4 servings, and roll out the dough flat. Cook in a cast iron at med high heat until brown starts form and bubbles in the dough rise. 

Delicious! Another winner! 

I doctored this a bit based on reviews and taste and oh man, it was so good! I used the crock function on my instant pot to avoid burning. After shredding the chicken 2 hours in, I added a can of chickpeas, a bit of cayenne and several good dashes of garam masala. I served it with Naan and sliced cucumbers. Definitely a dish I would serve for guests!! Thanks to all for the inspiration.

This is great served over rice, a spiralized carrot salad, or in a wrap. Such a diverse protein base. I doubled the recipe for a larger yield to use as leftovers throughout the week.

Made this recipe tonight and OMG was it easy and delicious. Followed recipe as pictured with rice and cucumbers and topped with Trader Joe’s tzatziki sauce. I’m so full and only 2 blue ww points!! Thank you!!
