Harissa-Yogurt Baked Chicken Thighs

By Erica Clark April/May 2017 Issue
Scott Phillips

Servings: 4

Harissa pastes vary in heat level. Taste some of the harissa-yogurt sauce before putting it on the chicken, and adjust the amount of harissa paste to your liking.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
  • 1-1/2 to 2 Tbs. harissa paste
  • 1 Tbs. chopped fresh mint

Preparation

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and heat to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a rack over it. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, and put them on the rack, smoother side up.
  • In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. salt, and pepper to taste. Add the harissa to taste, and stir to combine. Spoon the yogurt mixture over the chicken. Bake until the chicken is cooked through (165°F), about 20 minutes. Heat the broiler on medium, and broil until the yogurt sauce is just starting to blacken in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the mint before serving.

    This was SUPER simple and delicious! Will def be a weeknight standard. I used fat free yogurt but it still tasted great since the harissa spice is so rich. The yogurt keeps the thighs nice and moist.

    We had this together with the Roasted Chickpea Salad with Avocado and Feta. An easy, not too time-comsuming and VERY tasty dinner! Quite spicy - I used 3/4 Tbs. harissa paste and that packed enough heat for us. I will make this definitely again!
