Grilled Honey Harissa Chicken With Germinated Brown Rice Pilaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Under the hot broiler, char the bell peppers and jalapenos to blacken the skins evenly. Place the peppers in a bowl and cover to cool. Wipe off the skins with a paper towel and seed the peppers.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper, and then dredge in flour. Heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium-high heat and add the chicken to brown on both sides. Remove to a plate and add a bit more oil if necessary. Add the garlic, onions, coriander, cumin and some salt and pepper. Cook to soften, stirring occasionally.
• Add 1 cup of the stock with the peeled peppers to a food processor and pulse to puree the peppers. Add the puree to the cooked onions and slide the chicken back into the sauce to finish cooking.
• Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat, adding a little water or stock if the sauce is too thick.
• To serve, prepare the rice pilaf. Melt the butter in a saucepot over medium heat. Toast the broken pasta pieces to brown, then add the rice and the remaining 2 cups stock, and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and cook 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let stand 5 minutes, then fluff the pilaf with a fork.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Pat the chicken breasts dry, sprinkle with salt and pepper and transfer to the prepared sheet.
• Whisk together the honey, harissa, vinegar and garlic in a small skillet. Whisking constantly, bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to whisk until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 7 to 8 minutes. Whisk in the butter.
• Spoon half the glaze over the chicken and bake until beginning to turn golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and brush on the remaining glaze. Return to the oven and bake until an instant read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, 5 to 10 minutes more.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for medium heat.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in honey and lemon juice. Reserve half for basting, and brush the other half onto the chicken breasts.
• Lightly oil the grill grate, and place chicken on the grill. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, turning frequently. Baste often during the last 5 minutes. Chicken is done when the meat is firm, and juices run clear.

Steps:

• Combine the rose harissa, olive oil, garlic clove and honey. Season with salt.
