Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 tablespoons rose harissa paste
Finely grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
One 220-gram (8-ounce) bag rainbow salad
1 avocado, sliced
One 400-gram (14-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Handful of chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a saute pan. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and spread all over with the harissa paste and a sprinkling of lemon zest. Fry over a medium high heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until just cooked through. Set aside to rest, then slice and combine with the yogurt while the chicken is still warm.
  • Mix the lemon juice with some seasoning in a salad bowl and whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Add the rainbow salad, avocado, chickpeas and parsley and toss gently to combine. Serve with the harissa chicken.
