Yum! This recipe sounds so flavorful and delicious! I am definitely going to make this soon, thank you so much for sharing the recipe! :)

The Grilled Harissa Chicken looks great. I would probably create my own spices, as well.

We grill year round. This looks so good. I am going to give it a try!

This Grilled Harissa Chicken looks delicious. I will try this recipe.

I've not made chicken with a rub like this but looking forward to trying it. I think my family will enjoy the different spices on it so i did pin it so will try it soon.

We love hot and spicy food and this looks like an amazing recipe. My son will love this. Thanks.

Tasty looking chicken. Can't wait to make it.

This does sure look good. I've not yet tried harissa, it sounds like something we'd like. I haven't been as adventurous since I assumed I'd love saffron, seeing how people rave about it, and made an expensive recipe nobody would eat. This harissa doesn't have anything too spooky, I'd like to try it!

Thanks to harissa paste, this easy grilled chicken recipe is all the flavor! Slightly sweet, smoky, tangy, and just enough spicy. Serve it over quick-cooked couscous, a side of veggies, or with your favorite Mediterranean salad.

Grilled Harissa Chicken

boneless, skinless chicken thighs ((about 2 lb))

Kosher salt

garlic

½ red onion (sliced)

½ tsp coriander

½ tsp black pepper

tsp smoked paprika ((or 1 tsp sweet paprika))

tsp cumin

½ tsp cayenne (or more to your liking)

harissa paste

lemon

olive oil

Pat the chicken dry and season with kosher salt on both sides.

Place the chicken in a bowl and add garlic, onions, spices, and harissa paste. Add lemon juice and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Heat an outdoor grill or an indoor griddle to medium-high heat (between 400-450 degrees Fahrenheit) and be sure to lightly oil the grates. Grill for 6 to 7 minutes or so on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked (using an instant read thermometer chicken&#039;s internal temperature should register 165 degrees F at the thickest part).

Sheet-pan Harissa Chicken ( or tofu, or fish!) and Sweet Potatoes takes about 10-15 minutes of hands on time before going into the oven to bake. Mildly spicy and smoky, the quick harissa marinade is easy and simple- just stir it up in a bowl. Sub tofu or white fish instead of chicken for vegans!

Sheet-Pan Harissa Chicken &amp; Sweet Potatoes

garlic cloves- finely minced or crushed

salt

smoked paprika

chili powder

chipotle powder

caraway seeds

apple cider teaspoon vinegar

yogurt

Cilantro – (about 1 cup packed, tender stems ok) finely chopped

jalapeno (optional)

teaspoon coriander

lemon juice

tablespoon olive oil

Stir marinade ingredients together in a small bowl.

Dice the sweet potatoes into  ½-¾  inch cubes and place in a medium bowl with half the marinade and toss to coat. Place them in a single layer on one side of a parchment lined sheet pan.

Cut the onion, and place next to the sweet potatoes, drizzle with a little oil if you want (or not), saving room for the chicken.

Pat the chicken dry, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and place in the same medium bowl and add the remaining marinade, coating all sides well.

Line up next to the onions. If using very small sheet pans, you may need to use two. Do not overlap!

Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake 30 minutes but check after 20, rotating the pan if necessary.

While baking, make Green Harissa Sauce, blending all the ingredients in the blender.

Double-check that the chicken is cooked through before serving, and for extra crispy skin, broil for a few minutes at the end.

Divide the roasted sweet potatoes among 4 bowls and top with the chicken. Garnish with cilantro and serve with the  Green Harissa Yogurt Sauce

I’m just learning to cook and this was so easy and delicious. It’s the first time I’ve made something that I would be happy to serve a guest.

This recipe was amazing, thank you for sharing Sylvia!

Phenomenal!! The flavors work so well together! One of the best meals I’ve had in a while. Your site is just beautiful and I’m eager to try more of your recipes! Sheet-Pan Tandoori Chicken is next! Thank you for sharing!!

The harissa marinade is so tasty.  I think I will try it with some shredded lamb with tzatziki in wraps with the green harissa sauce.

I chopped it as fine as possible &amp; gave it a bash an it was lovely :) the whole recipy was amazing! I will definitely be cooking this one often. Thank you :)

These Harissa Chicken Meatballs are served on a bed of couscous with a refreshing cucumber and herb salad for the best bowl-style meal EVER! We&#x27;ve got a thick layer of hummus, feta cheese, and plenty of fresh herbs, to make these bowls even more flavor-packed and satisfying! This is the kind of dinner you&#x27;ll find in your rotation constantly, because it&#x27;s just that simple and that good!

Harissa Chicken Meatballs with Couscous and Cucumber Herb Salad

chicken*

harissa paste*

garlic,

onion

flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

dill

mint

pepper

olive oil,

cucumber

juice of 1/2 a large lemon

red onion

salt and pepper

couscous, rice, quinoa,

hummus

feta

dill and mint

paste,

extra virgin olive oil

lemon wedges

Begin by making the meatballs. Preheat oven to 400℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, harissa, garlic, onion, parsley, dill, mint, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined. Wet or oil your hands to make the rolling process easier, and roll into 12-14 meatballs.

Heat a large nonstick skillet or cast iron pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Once hot, add the meatballs and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until deeply golden brown. Transfer meatballs to prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through.

While meatballs are baking, make the cucumber herb salad. In a small bowl, stir together the diced cucumber, lemon juice, red onion, dill, and mint. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

To assemble bowls, spread a generous dollop of hummus on the bottom of your bowl. Top with couscous or your preferred bowl base, followed by a few scoops of cucumber herb salad and the meatballs. Sprinkle with crumbled feta and torn fresh dill and mint. Drizzle on a little harissa paste if you’d like. Drizzle bowls with a little extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. Serve with extra lemon wedges.

This One Pan Roasted Harissa Chicken recipe adds chickpeas, carrots, and cauliflower to turn this pan roasted harissa chicken into a one-skillet meal!

One Pan Roasted Harissa Chicken Recipe

boneless (skinless chicken thighs)

harissa (mild

extra virgin olive oil (divided)

carrot

cauliflower florets

can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

lemon (halved)

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and position a rack in the center of the oven.

Toss the chicken thighs with the harissa in a large bowl. Heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a 12&quot; or larger oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is just barely smoking, add the chicken thighs to the pan in a single layer. Let cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Turn the thighs over and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside on a plate.

Add the remaining teaspoon of oil to the pan along with the carrots and cauliflower. Saute for 90 seconds. Add the chickpeas and toss well. Place both lemon halves in the pan cut side down, snugly against the bottom of the pan so the fruit will caramelize in the oven.

Return the chicken to the pan, nestling each piece under the vegetables. Use pot holders to carefully transfer the pan to the oven. Roast, uncovered, for 25 minutes, flipping the chicken over halfway through.

Serve right out of the skillet; use tongs to squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken (watch for seeds!).

Harissa chicken is tender, juicy, and coated in a spicy, flavor-packed sauce that will leave your mouth watering. This easy and delicious North African dish is the perfect recipe to add to the dinner lineup this week!
