Ingredients

For the harissa chicken

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1-2 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey

For the yogurt feta sauce

  • 1/2 cup whole fat plain greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoons lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

For the chicken

  • Combine the chicken, harissa paste, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a sealable container. Mix to combine and let marinate in the fridge for 4-6 hours.
  • Set your flattop griddle to medium heat. Once preheated, apply a thin coat of oil and dump chicken and marinade onto the surface. Cook until chicken is heated through (see notes) tossing every 1-2 minutes to make sure it doesn't burn.
  • Once the chicken is 99% done, squeeze 1-2 tablespoons of honey onto the chicken and toss quickly to coat. Remove from flattop and enjoy immediately.

For the yogurt feta sauce

  • Combine all the ingredients and blend (or mix by hand). Keep in the fridge, airtight. It will store in the fridge for a few days.
    If the sauce is too thick you can add more lemon juice or olive oil to thin it out.

Notes

Chicken is technically cooked at 165 but I prefer the dark meat cooked a little hotter at 180.
