Harissa Chicken Traybake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a large bowl, mix together the harissa paste and the vinegar, then add the chicken and onions. Spread the mixture out in a large roasting tin and roast for 35 mins, turning at least once. In the final 10 mins, add the peppers and feta, then sprinkle with the pine nuts just before the end of the cooking time. Serve with the pan juices and couscous.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Mix 2 tbsp of the harissa with 3 tbsp of the yogurt. Rub all over the chicken breasts and set aside to marinate while you start the veg.
• Toss the squash and the onions with remaining harissa, mixed with 2 tbsp oil (sunflower, vegetable or olive is fine), and some seasoning in a large roasting tin. Roast for 10 mins.
• Remove veg from the oven, add the chicken to the tin, then roast for a further 20-25 mins until the chicken and veg are cooked through. Serve with the remaining yogurt on the side, and a big bowl of couscous or rice.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Score deep lines all over the chicken legs, then rub in the harissa. Season well and place in a roasting tin. Scatter the garlic over and around the chicken. Squeeze the lemon wedges over, then place them in the tin with the cherry tomatoes, potatoes and olives. Season, drizzle over the oil and toss briefly to mix everything together.
• Cook in the oven for 45 mins-1 hr until the chicken is cooked through and golden. Serve with salad, if you like.

Steps:

• It's the wrong time of the year for new potatoes - I used the smallest ones I had and cut them up further.
• Preheat oven to 375 deg F (190C).
• Score deep cuts all over the chicken, then rub in the harissa. (If I were to do this over, I'd put the chicken and the harissa in a bowl or plastic bag, and smoosh everything with my hands). Season well and place in a baking dish. (I did not season the chicken as the harissa had a fair amount of salt).
• Put the vegetables in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste, and mix thoroughly to coat everything evenly. Add to the baking dish. Scatter the olives over everything.
• Squeeze the lemon wedges over everything, then add them to the dish.
• Cook in the oven for 45 mins-1 hr until the chicken is cooked through through and golden. I tested for doneness, as the paste made it hard to tell how done the chicken was.
