Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless chicken breasts or thighs cut into cubes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and black pepper
- 2 tablespoons flour or gluten-free flour
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/4 cup harissa sauce or 2 tablespoons harissa paste
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons dried chives
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
- In a bowl, toss the chicken with smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add flour and mix well. Coat the chicken with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and spread it evenly on the baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
- While the chicken bakes, prepare the sauce by melting the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in harissa sauce, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Season with salt and chile flakes as desired.
- Once the chicken is done, pour the harissa sauce over it and toss to coat well in the sauce.
- To prepare the tahini ranch, combine tahini, lemon juice, chives, parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk in 1/4 to 1/2 cup water to achieve the desired consistency.
- Serve the chicken drizzled with tahini ranch, accompanied by home-cut fries for a delightful meal.
Notes
Ensure chicken is cooked through by checking internal temperature.
Adjust harissa according to your spice preference for a milder or spicier flavor.
