Description
Deliciously spiced chicken thighs marinated in harissa and served with roasted chickpeas and carrots.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bone in skin on chicken thighs
- 4 tablespoons harissa paste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice (1 large lemon)
- 1 15 ounce can chickpeas
- 4 large carrots
- 1 small red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add the chicken thighs to a large mixing bowl.
- In a small dish, combine all ingredients for the chicken marinade. Pour the marinade on top of the chicken, and use your hands to coat each piece of chicken in the sauce. Set aside to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the chicken to a greased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the chickpeas, diced onion, and carrots to a mixing bowl. Whisk together the olive oil, dijon, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small dish. Toss the chickpeas and veggies with the sauce until well combined.
- After the chicken has cooked for 10 minutes, remove from the oven and add in the veggies.
- Place back in the oven and cook for an additional 30 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes, then drizzle with my lemon tahini dressing and any fresh herbs such as thyme, chives, parsley, etc. Enjoy!
Notes
- Marinate the chicken for maximum flavor.
