Smart Harissa-Roasted Chicken

with Tomato Bulgur Pilaf and Mint-Yogurt Sauce

In this all-star dish, tomato bulgur pilaf gets a delightful taste from caramelizing the tomatoes in a pot with garlic, while chicken gets a beautiful colour and rich flavour from our warm and smoky Harissa Spice Blend. The refreshing mint-yogurt sauce is the final component that ties everything together in this North African-inspired dish!

Instructions

Start pilaf
1

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Garlic Guide for Step 4 (dbl for 4 ppl): 1/4 tsp mild, 1/2 tsp medium and 1 tsp extra! Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then tomatoes. Cook, stirring often, until tomatoes are very soft and start to break down, 3-5 min. Add half the garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.

Cook pilaf
2

Add broth concentrate, 2/3 cup water and 1/2 tsp salt (dbl both for 4 ppl) to the pot with tomatoes. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, stir in bulgur. Cover and remove the pot from heat. Let stand until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed, 16-18 min.

Cook chicken

Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. While the pan heats, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and Harissa Spice Blend. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chicken. Pan-fry until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side. Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 8-10 min.**

Prep remaining ingredients and make mint-yogurt sauce

Meanwhile, roughly chop spinach. Zest, then juice half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 ppl). Cut any remaining lemon into wedges. Finely chop mint. Add yogurt, lemon zest, 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp water, 1 tbsp mint (dbl all for 4 ppl) and 1/2 tsp garlic to a small bowl. (NOTE: Reference garlic guide.) Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to combine. (TIP: Add 1/4 tsp sugar [1/2 tsp for 4 ppl] for a more balanced sauce.)
