Sticky Harissa Chicken

Ingredients

Serves 4

4 free-range organic chicken breasts, sliced

3 tablespoons harissa paste (make your own harissa with this recipe)

2 tablespoons (mild-flavored) honey

3 tablespoons olive oil

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

½ teaspoon sweet paprika

1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

Pinch of ground black pepper

Fresh chopped mint

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a rack in the middle.

In a small bowl mix harissa, honey, olive oil, sweet paprika, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper.

Put the chicken in a shallow bowl (or Ziploc bag), add marinade, cover (or seal) and marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Heat an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, add the chicken and fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden.

Transfer to the oven and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until cooked through and sticky.

Slice the chicken, sprinkle with chopped mint and serve, along with any pan juices.
