Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 large leeks, cleaned and sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare Chicken: In a bowl, mix the harissa paste with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them evenly with the mixture. Set aside.
  3. Prepare Vegetables: In a large baking dish, combine the halved baby potatoes and sliced leeks. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
  4. Arrange Chicken: Nestle the marinated chicken thighs among the potatoes and leeks in the baking dish.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
  6. Prepare Yogurt Sauce: While the chicken is baking, mix the plain yogurt with fresh lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and stir until well combined.
  7. Serve: Once the chicken and vegetables are done, remove the dish from the oven. Serve hot, drizzled with the yogurt sauce and garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
