Harissa Chicken With Leeks, Potatoes, & Yogurt Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 leeks, cleaned and sliced
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix the harissa paste, olive oil, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and coat them with half of the harissa marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or you can refrigerate them for a few hours for more flavor.
  4. While the chicken is marinating, toss the potato chunks with the remaining harissa marinade. Spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the same baking sheet, and add the sliced leeks.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
  7. While the chicken and vegetables are roasting, mix the yogurt with a pinch of salt.
  8. Once the chicken, potatoes, and leeks are cooked, remove them from the oven.
  9. Serve the harissa chicken on a bed of roasted potatoes and leeks, drizzle with the yogurt sauce, and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley.
  10. Enjoy your delicious Harissa Chicken with Leeks, Potatoes, and Yogurt!
