Roasted Harissa Chicken with Chickpeas & Cauliflower

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time35 minutes
Total Time45 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pound bone-in chicken thighs (about 6)
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 shallots (or 1 yellow onion), peeled and sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup homemade or store-bought harissa paste plus to brush on top
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 (14-ounce) cans of chickpeas
  • 1 head of cauliflower cut into florets
  • 1 lemon, grilled
  • Italian parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle chicken with salt on both sides. In a large pan or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook on opposite side for about 3 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside in bowl.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-low. If the chicken let out a bunch of fat, discard, leaving only about two teaspoons of oil. Add the onions and cook for about 3 minutes, next add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the harissa paste, broth, chickpeas and nestle the chicken atop. Brush the tops of the chicken thighs with harissa. Place in oven to cook, uncovered, for about 20 minutes. At the 20 minute mark, add the cauliflower all around (you may need to move the chicken around to fit all the cauliflower) and transfer back to the oven. Cook for an additional 15 minutes. Garnish with lemon wedges and Italian parsley.
