    Here's to another hassle-free, delicious meal! This harissa's Chicken and Potato Traybake is the perfect recipe when you need a break. Put your feet up and let the oven do all of the work while you enjoy a stress-free dinner that tastes like a winner every time!

    The key to this recipe is using the best harissa paste you can find out there, a store-bought in this case. Personally, I am a huge fan of Belazu harissa rose, it is brimming with flavor, and I use it as a condiment on almost everything just like how one would utilize pesto!

    I love the fact that this recipe is economical, healthy, and delicious and only requires minimal prep time yet delivers maximum taste.

    What you will need

    To make this harissa chicken and potatoes traybake, you will need the following ingredients

    Chicken thighs: I used bone in skin on chicken thighs for optimum flavor. The chicken comes out tender and juicy and also forgiving if slightly overcooked.

    Harissa paste: store bought or homemade

    Baby potatoes

    Red bell peppers: use any color of your choice.

    Onions: I used brown onions but red onions would work perfectly well too.

    Garlic granules

    Lemon juice

    Olive oil: sub with any flavorless cooking oil of choice.

    Salt and pepper to taste

    ingredients to make chicken and potato traybake.

    How to make harissa chicken traybake

    Preheat the oven to 180C/365F

    Deseed the bell peppers and cut them into big chunks, peel and chop the onions roughly and add to a rimmed baking sheet

    Pat the chicken thighs dry with a kitchen paper towel and place them on the baking sheet along with the peppers and onions

    Wash the potatoes clean under cold running water and cut them into 1-inch chunks or halves if small. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet with the chicken, peppers, and onions

    Drizzle the olive oil, and lemon juice over the chicken and veggies then sprinkle garlic granules, salt, and pepper to taste over everything

    Spoon the harissa paste over the chicken and veggies, using your hand, and carefully mix everything together until well combined. (I suggest you place the chicken skin side down)

    Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for 40 minutes flipping halfway through or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are golden. To ensure the proper doneness of cooked chicken, it's vital to check its internal temperature reads 74F/165F.

    Carefully, remove the baking tray from the oven, squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over everything if desired, serve and enjoy!
