Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the harissa paste, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat completely. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer, reserving any extra marinade.
Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. If using leftover marinade, add it during the last minute of cooking and let it reduce slightly into a glaze.
Prepare your bowls by layering cooked basmati rice and mixed greens. Top with the cooked harissa chicken, fresh vegetables, and a drizzle of your favorite sauce.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the marinated chicken instead of pan-frying.
Make a simple creamy sauce by mixing 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro.
This recipe is great for meal prepping; store the chicken and toppings separately for up to 4 days.
