Instructions
0 Preheat the oven to 450 (225C) degrees 1 Put the chicken in a baking dish or pan large enough to hold the chicken snugly, such as a 3-quart size. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with 1 teaspoon of the salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Scatter the onion over the chicken. 2 Stir the harissa, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic, lemon juice and remaining ½ teaspoon salt in a small bowl until combined. If the mixture seems thick and pasty, stir in a tablespoon or two of chicken broth until it has a saucy consistency. Pour over the chicken and onion and toss around to coat. 3 Bake 20 minutes. Add the chickpeas to the baking dish and flip the chicken pieces over. Continue baking 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the pan juices are bubbling. 4 Sprinkle the cilantro over the chicken. Serve with cooked couscous or rice if desired.View original recipe
