Make a flavorful weeknight dinner with this easy sheet-pan recipe featuring chicken thighs coated in a sweet and spicy honey harissa glaze, roasted alongside simple vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs, bone-in or boneless
  • 1/4 cup harissa paste
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lb small potatoes, halved
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the harissa paste, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  3. Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or a sealable bag. Pour half of the harissa marinade over the chicken and toss to coat thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss the potatoes, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with the remaining half of the harissa marinade.
  5. Arrange the seasoned vegetables on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  6. Place the marinated chicken thighs among the vegetables on the sheet pan, ensuring nothing is overly crowded.
  7. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Cooking time will vary based on the cut of chicken used.
  8. Serve immediately, perhaps alongside rice or couscous for a complete meal, similar to popular meal planning options.

Notes

  • For a CAVA-style bowl, serve this chicken and roasted vegetables over brown rice or quinoa and top with a simple yogurt sauce.
  • If you prefer using chicken breasts, reduce the cooking time slightly to prevent drying out.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store cooked chicken and vegetables in separate containers for up to four days.
