Description

A flavorful grilled chicken dish marinated in vibrant harissa and herbs, perfect for any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix together harissa paste, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with the marinade and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (preferably overnight).
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through.

  6. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve.

Notes

For richer flavor, marinate chicken longer. Let the chicken rest before slicing for juiciness.
