Recipe Review
Zosia from Toronto, ON
Delicious spicy chicken with a bright, fruity sauce and simple salad to cut the heat.
This is a great dish for a weeknight supper as the chicken must marinate overnight in the harissa so is prepared in advance; actual cooking time is short and the salad and sauce can be made easily in the time it takes the chicken to cook.
The harissa marinade is simple to make and was even easier for me as I had roasted red peppers that I’d prepared in the summer in the freezer. It has a much more complex and well rounded flavour than the store bought brand I have but you could probably use the stuff in a jar in a pinch (and probably jarred roasted peppers as well).
I’m the only one in my family who likes grapefruit and this simple salad didn’t win any converts but everyone loved the tangy grapefruit-maple sauce and the chicken. I enjoyed all of the components together, especially the bites of peppery arugula that included a little of the sauce.
