Spicy Tunisian Chicken with Olives and Roasted Potatoes
Experience the vibrant flavors of Tunisia with this easy one-pan meal. Succulent chicken thighs are generously coated in a fiery harissa spice blend, then roasted to perfection alongside tender potatoes and briny olives. It's a robust and aromatic dish that brings a taste of North Africa to your dinner table, ideal for a satisfying family meal.
Let's cook.
In a large bowl, combine the harissa paste, olive oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken thighs and potato chunks to the bowl with the marinade. Toss everything until the chicken and potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the marinated chicken and potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast in an oven at 400°F/200°C for 30 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the pitted mixed olives to the baking sheet and gently toss with the chicken and potatoes.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting at 400°F/200°C for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender and lightly browned. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F/74°C.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
