A tasty five-ingredient glaze takes boneless skinless chicken breasts to the next level in around a half hour-perfect for a busy weeknight meal with rice or couscous alongside.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 3/4 to 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon harissa paste
2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Pat the chicken breasts dry, sprinkle with salt and pepper and transfer to the prepared sheet.
  • Whisk together the honey, harissa, vinegar and garlic in a small skillet. Whisking constantly, bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to whisk until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 7 to 8 minutes. Whisk in the butter.
  • Spoon half the glaze over the chicken and bake until beginning to turn golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and brush on the remaining glaze. Return to the oven and bake until an instant read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, 5 to 10 minutes more.

ROASTED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH HARISSA CHICKPEAS



Roasted Chicken Breasts With Harissa Chickpeas image

Harissa paste, the Tunisian hot chile condiment, is a super versatile pantry item. Keep it on hand for creating quick weeknight sauces that pack a punch. Here, store-bought harissa is reinforced with sautéed onion and garlic, then brightened with lemony coriander and fresh parsley. Mashed chickpeas add texture and balance out the spicy, tangy sauce. Couscous and orzo are simple sides to serve with this meal; if you have extra time, roasted squash or steamed cauliflower are also great accompaniments. Leftover harissa sauce makes a great topping for roasted cod or salmon, or use it as a warm vinaigrette to dress up a simple green salad. If you'd like, you can use boneless breasts or thighs, but keep on eye on them. They'll be cooked through in 20 to 30 minutes.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons harissa paste, more to taste
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, crushed using a mortar and pestle, or 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 (15.5-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 1/2 a lemon)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine the chicken and 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Arrange the chicken in an even layer, skin side up, and roast until golden and cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Carve the breast off off the bone, then slice to serve. Discard bones or reserve for making chicken stock.
  • While the chicken rests, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Stir in the harissa and coriander and cook until very fragrant and dark red, about 2 minutes. Add half the chickpeas and lightly mash them using a fork, the back of a spoon or a potato masher. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley along with the remaining chickpeas, 2 tablespoons oil, and 1/4 cup water. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the chicken topped with the sauce.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 chicken (about 3 pounds)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 corn tortilla, cut in quarters
2 plum tomatoes, quartered lengthwise
1/4 white onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic
2 ounces wild mushrooms, stemmed and chopped
3 pasilla chiles, stemmed and seeded
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chicken stock
2 teaspoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Split chicken down back, open up, place bone side down and press firmly to flatten.
  • Make two slits in skin near tail and tuck ends of legs through holes.
  • Combine cinnamon, chili powder, salt and pepper.
  • Brush chicken with 1 Tbsp olive oil and rub chicken with spice mixture.
  • In an oven-proof skillet large enough to hold the chicken, evenly spread tortilla pieces, tomatoes, onion, garlic, mushrooms, pasilla chiles and pumpkin seeds.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over vegetables.
  • Place chicken on top of vegetables and roast until chicken is done.
  • Remove chicken from pan and brush with some of the pan juices.
  • Keep warm.
  • Add chicken stock to pan and stir up ingredients and browned bits from bottom of pan.
  • Transfer to blender and puree until smooth.
  • Return to pan, bring to boil, add brown sugar and reduce heat to low and simmer for 15- 30 minutes to thicken.
  • Cut chicken into pieces, add back to sauce to warm.
  • Serve.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken for the most flavorful results. A whole chicken will give you more meat and a more complex flavor than just using chicken breasts or thighs.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature to get crispy skin. A high roasting temperature will help to crisp up the chicken skin and give it a golden brown color.
  • Use a flavorful marinade or rub. Marinating or rubbing the chicken with a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to infuse it with flavor.
  • Roast the chicken with vegetables for a complete meal. Roasting the chicken with vegetables is a great way to get a complete meal in one dish.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked through before serving. The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before serving.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon roasted chicken with harissa sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is roasted until crispy and golden brown, and the harissa sauce adds a spicy and flavorful kick. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
