Chicken thighs, chickpeas and harissa
Roasting tin recipes make perfect midweek meals – a few minutes of prep, then 25 or so minutes in the oven while you unwind. The sauce for this one is particularly moreish, with the juices from the chicken melding into the tomatoes and harissa. You’ll need some good bread to mop it all up.

Servings: 4 to 6

Servings: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
  • 100g harissa paste (I use Belazu rose harissa)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • ¾ tsp table salt, plus extra for the chicken
  • 3 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 bunch spring onions, trimmed and sliced
  • 3 x 400g cans chickpeas, drained (750g)
  • 25 prunes (about 175g), halved
  • 6 skin-on chicken thighs (about 1kg), at room temperature
  • Olive oil, to glaze
Steps
  1. Heat the oven to 220C (200C fan)/425F/gas 7 and take the chicken out of the fridge. In a bowl, stir the chopped tomatoes, harissa, sugar, salt, cinnamon, lemon juice and spring onions. Scatter the chickpeas into a large roasting dish, followed by the prunes and the tomato mixture.
  2. Lay the chicken thighs on top, then brush each one with a little olive oil and a dusting of salt. Roast for 25 minutes, until the chicken is browned on top, and serve straight from the roasting dish.
