Notes
- In this recipe I’m using a combination of Brussel sprouts, red onion, sweet potato and chickpeas. But you can substitute lots of other vegetables: broccoli, cauliflower, squash, green beans, tomatos, peppers. Use what you have and what you like.
- Use one tablespoon honey and one tablespoon harissa per chicken breast. The same ratio holds if you’re cooking for more people.
- You can substitute pork chops or salmon for chicken but cooking times will vary.
