Description
Honey Harissa Chicken Sheet Pan is a savory dish featuring roasted chicken thighs and colorful vegetables, coated in a sweet and spicy harissa sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons harissa paste
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 cup baby carrots
- 1 lemon, halved
- Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together harissa paste, honey, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the chicken thighs thoroughly in the harissa mixture. Optionally, allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced bell peppers, red onion wedges, and baby carrots. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Place the marinated chicken thighs in the center of the sheet pan. Surround them with the mixed vegetables. Squeeze the lemon halves over the chicken and veggies, then add them to the sheet as well.
- Roast everything in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The vegetables should be tender and slightly charred.
- If desired, halfway through cooking, you can baste the chicken with extra marinade to enhance the flavor.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken enhances the flavor.
- Use any color bell pepper for variety.
