Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons harissa paste adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Serving
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa for serving
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced for garnish
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved for garnish
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled optional

Method
 

Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine harissa paste, honey, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Grill the Chicken
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Serve
  1. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  2. Serve the sliced chicken over cooked quinoa, topped with diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese if desired.
