Sheet Pan Harissa Chicken + Veggies with Lemon Aioli

THIS Sheet Pan Harissa Chicken + Veggies, you guys! It was one of those that as I put it in the oven I was thinking, well darn, I really hope this isn’t a fail…but, boy was I wrong! It is a total winner winner chicken dinner! Like, really freaking good. My husband ooh-ed and ahh-ed over it the entire time he ate it. I have a feeling it’s going to be a new go-to!

The best part about it? It’s so easy my 4-year-old could make it. Well, maybe not the chopping the veggies with a sharp knife part…but other than that, it’s as easy as can be. I love the warm flavors of curry and cumin, along with the oh-so-tasty kick from the harissa. 

Speaking of harissa, you all have probably seen me use Mina Harissa in many of my dishes before. It is definitely a condiment that is always in my fridge, ready to elevate any dish I please. I keep it simple and add it on top of grilled protein or fish OR I sometimes get a little festive with it and add it to sauces like my Bang Bang Sauce that I made in my Bang Bang Shrimp Lettuce Wraps. And, as I did here with this fantastic Sheet Pan Harissa Chicken + Veggies. It adds so much flavor and I especially love that it only has 6 simple, clean ingredients. No added junk. Just like I like my food! 

So go, get yourself some Mina Harissa and make this sheet pan meal asap. Trust me on this one.
