Ingredients

4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ red onion minced
4 cloves garlic minced
¼ cup Harissa Paste
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium high heat, about 400-450 degrees fahrenheit.
Pat your chicken dry and place it in a large bowl.
In a small bowl combine your salt, pepper, coriander, paprika , cumin, and cayenne pepper. Mix to combine and rub over all your chicken breasts.
In another bowl add your garlic, onion, harissa paste, lemon juice, and olive oil. Pour this mixture over your seasoned chicken and rub to coat each chicken well in the mixture.
Allow the chicken to marinate for about 30 minutes.
Once the chicken is ready, grill for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees fahrenheit,
Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to set for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

If you want to bake your chicken while it is marinating, preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with foil. Place your prepared chicken on the baking sheet and bake for 16-20 minutes, flipping halfway through cook time.
