Ingredients
Scale
For the marinade:
- 3 tbsps olive oil
- 2 tbsps harissa spice powder or ras el hanout
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp freshly-ground black pepper
- 1 lemon, juice only
For the chicken:
- 1 kg chicken thigh fillets (boneless, skinless chicken thighs)
Instructions
- Add the marinade ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine. Add the chicken and toss well to coat. Let sit 30 minutes, or better yet, cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the Caramelised Onion Hummus.
- Heat your oven grill to medium-high/high. Arrange the chicken in a single layer on a foil-lined baking tray. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through – chicken thigh fillets cook quickly.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate, tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Once rested, slice the chicken. Top the hummus with the chicken and serve with your favourite side salad or pop it all into a flatbread and make yourself a tasty wrap.
