harissa chicken recipe

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

olive oil

cumin

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!!

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!
