Sheet-Pan Harissa Chicken & Vegetables

Be the first to rate & review!

This one-pan dinner gets a hit of flavorful heat from harissa, the popular North African chile-and-garlic paste. We use harissa paste from a tube for this recipe. It's got a concentrated chile flavor that makes an excellent spice rub for chicken and adds a subtle punch of heat to a refreshing herbed yogurt sauce.

Ingredients

4 cups white or purple cauliflower florets
4 cups sliced red, orange and/or yellow bell peppers
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus 1/2 teaspoon, divided
2 teaspoons harissa paste, plus 1/2 teaspoon, divided
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 clove garlic, minced
2 8-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced fresh mint
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
⅛ teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Toss cauliflower and peppers with 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Spread in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet; roast for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine 2 teaspoons harissa paste, brown sugar, garlic and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Rub chicken all over with the harissa mixture. Stir the vegetables, then add the chicken to the pan. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes.
Combine yogurt, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon harissa paste, lemon zest and juice, mint, parsley and pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle the sauce over the chicken and vegetables or serve on the side for dipping.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
