Ingredients

⅓ cup olive oil
½ red onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
5 tablespoons harissa paste
1 juice of lemon
1 teaspoon salt
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
warmed pitta breads (optional)

Instructions

Begin by making the marinade, which should be done 30 minutes - 2 hours before you plan to cook the chicken
In a large mixing bowl add the olive oil, red onion, garlic, harissa paste, lemon juice, salt and your teaspoon club spice mix and whisk thoroughly
Take the chicken and place each of the breasts between greaseproof or baking paper and pound them with a meat hammer or rolling pin to flatten them. Do so until you achieve and even depth between 1/4 and 1/2 inch for each breast
When you are ready to cook the chicken, place aluminium foil onto the grill/barbecue. Lightly brush the foil with some oil, bring up to heat and then place the chicken directly onto it. The foil will make sure you preserve as much of the marinade as possible to serve with the chicken
Cooking time will vary slightly depending on the thickness of your chicken. Grill until cooked through, turning once throughout - approximately 4 minutes each side should be sufficient but make sure the chicken is fully cooked before serving
Serve as desired, though we recommend enjoying this harissa chicken with warm pitta breads and salad
