Roasted Chicken Breasts With Harissa Chickpeas Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part, without touching the bone, reads 165 degrees, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Transfer to a cutting board and rest, covered with foil, for 15 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish, skin side up.
• Sprinkle each breast with salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon thyme.
• Brush with melted butter and roast 1 hour at 350 degrees or until done.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Working in 2 batches, cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon drippings from pan. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until beginning to darken, about 1 minute. Add chickpeas, harissa, and broth; bring to a simmer.
• Snuggle chicken, skin side up, in chickpeas; transfer skillet to oven. Roast until chicken is cooked through, 20-25 minutes. Top with parsley and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onions and peppers for 7 mins until softened and golden.
• Meanwhile, put the chicken between two sheets of baking parchment and lightly bash until about 2cm thick. Mix together the remaining oil and the za'atar, then rub over the chicken. Season to taste.
• Heat the grill to high. Put the chicken on a baking tray lined with foil, and grill for 3-4 mins each side, or until golden and cooked through.
• Heat the chickpeas in a pan with the harissa paste and 2 tbsp water until warmed through, then roughly mash with a potato masher. Wilt the spinach in a pan with 1 tbsp of water or in the microwave in a heatproof bowl. Stir the pepper and onion mixture, spinach and parsley through the chickpeas. Serve with the sliced chicken and the lemon wedges for squeezing over.
