Method

  • step 1

    Season the chicken breasts all over with the cumin and lots of ground black pepper. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the chicken with the onion for 4 mins. Turn the chicken over and cook for a further 3 mins. Stir the onions around the chicken regularly as they cook.

  • step 2

    Tip the tomatoes and 250ml water into the pan and stir in the harissa, honey, courgettes and chickpeas. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 mins until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Great recipe. I left out the tomatoes though as I prefer it without and I swapped the courgette for mushrooms and spinach. Made a vegan one too using firm tofu and swapped honey for golden syrup. Served with crispy potatoes.

Great dish, I did make a few adjustments. But the end result was very tasty and very easy to make. Will definitely make again.

This dish appears in a list of sub-300 calorie meals, and it looks that way from the nutrition information (293 kcal). But I've plugged these ingredients into a calorie-tracking app, and it's come up with 363 kcal. Just something to think about.

Thank you for sharing. The additional calories make a difference if, for example, you are on a strict calorie controlled diet.

What a simple yet very tasty dish. I agree with the comments about it not really needing the water and I too added extra harissa. I also simmered the chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes as opposed to 15. Will make this again.
