Pan-Roasted Chicken With Harissa Chickpeas image

Harissa, a spicy North African red chile paste (you can find recipes here on Food) is a great shortcut ingredient to flavor, but no two jars (or tubes) are the same. Taste first-if it seems very spicy, use a bit less. You can always stir more into the chickpeas when the dish is finished. Harissa, is available at Middle Eastern markets, some specialty foods stores, and online if you choose not to make your own.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
8 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)
kosher salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 small onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
lemon wedge, for serving

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the harissa chickpeas, and they don't even realize that they're eating vegetables.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. I've made it with chicken, tofu, and even shrimp, and it's always delicious. The harissa chickpeas are always a hit, too.

This dish was a bit too salty for me, but I think that's because I used a store-bought harissa paste. I'll try making my own harissa next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover rotisserie chicken, and it worked perfectly in this dish. The harissa chickpeas were a great addition, and they added a lot of flavor.

This dish was a disappointment. The chicken was dry, and the harissa chickpeas were bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well.
