Harissa Honey Chicken Bowls

Posted by angeladawn1220 on

I have the perfect weeknight dinner idea for you when you want a D to the LISH option but don’t have a lot of time to put dinner on the table. Meet my Harissa honey chicken bowls. Where heat meets sweet! I take harissa paste and mix it with honey to coat the chicken and pair that with some toasted pine nut and mint couscous. Topped with avocado to add a nice smooth pairing with the spicy chicken and pickled red onion for an added tart crunch. It doesn’t get any better than this!

  • While chicken is roasting, toast pine nuts in a small fry pan over medium heat until just starting to brown and release fragrance. Add water to a small sauce pot with salt. Once boiling, add couscous, remove from heat, cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Once 5 minutes is up, remove lid, fluff with fork and add pine nuts and chopped mint.
