Ingredients

Honey Harissa Vinaigrette:

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons harissa seasoning
  • 1/4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon pure honey
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • Kosher salt to taste

Harissa Honey Chicken:

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless/skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoons harissa seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

For the bowl toppings:

  • 4 cups rice cooked
  • 4 cups salad mix of greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1/4 cup pickled red onions
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta
  • 1/4 cup tzatziki
  • 1/4 cup hummus

Instructions

For the honey harissa vinaigrette:

  • In a jar, combine all the vinaigrette ingredients. Shake the vinaigrette to combine OR my preference is to use an immersion blender to really combine everything. Store in the refrigerator.

For the honey harissa chicken:

  • In a large bowl combine olive oil, harissa, honey, and salt. Place the chicken into the bowl coating the chicken in the mixture. Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes.
  • Heat a skillet (or griddle) to medium heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes before flipping and cooking an additional 5-6 minutes or until the internal temperature is at least 165°F
  • Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before chopping into cubes.

Build the bowls

  • Build your bowls by adding rice, greens, and chicken. Then finish bowls with your desired toppings. I like tomatoes, cucumber, pickled red onions, feta, tzatziki, and hummus. Then drizzle with the harissa vinaigrette.
