    This Harissa Chicken Sheet Pan Supper celebrates the flavours of North Africa! Spicy chicken breasts and roasted baby potatoes, beets and kohlrabi are topped with dollops of yogurt and mint.

    It's an easy Moroccan-flavoured dinner, all baked in on one sheet pan.

    What is Harissa?

    Harissa is a red chile paste common in North Africa, and especially Tunisia. It's made with hot red chili peppers (sometimes smoked), red bell peppers, garlic, olive oil and spices. Read more about it here.

    Don't be turned off by its intense bright colour! It's not as spicy as it looks. However, if you buy store-bought harissa paste (as I did for this recipe) you can choose either regular or mild, depending on your tastes.

    Harissa paste or spice mix is usually available in the spice aisle or the international food section of your supermarket.

    Sheet Pan Dinners make life easy!

    I have become obsessed with creating sheet pan dinners. They're so quick and easy and there's only one pan to clean.

    I've made sheet pan suppers (also known as tray bake dinners) using fish, as in this Thai Chili Sheet Pan Salmon and Maple-Walnut Crusted Sheet Pan Halibut and with chicken, too. My most popular sheet pan chicken supper is this Sheet Pan Chicken with Roasted Harvest Vegetables, followed very closely by Hoisin Orange Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner with Sweet Potatoes.

    Clearly, my readers love these easy one-pan meals too!

    And what's not to love?

    Vegetables to serve with Harissa Chicken Sheet Pan Supper

    For this Moroccan Chicken Sheet Pan Supper I chose boneless, skinless chicken breasts, baby potatoes, red and golden beets and kohlrabi. Kohlrabi isn't a vegetable I use often, but it has an ever-so-slightly sweet taste when roasted.  Along with naturally sweet beets, it balanced the flavours beautifully in this meal.

    Using vibrantly coloured vegetables and topping each breast with a dollop of yogurt and mint gave this dinner a true Moroccan feel! I added more flavour to the finished dish with chopped green onions and cilantro.

    Ingredients

    • 4 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
    • 4 tablespoon harissa paste, divided
    • 2 pounds mini potatoes

    • 2 medium red beets, peeled and sliced

    • ⅓ cup whole milk yogurt mixed with 1 tablespoon finely minced mint
    • 1 green onion (scallion) thinly sliced on the diagonal
    • fresh mint, cilantro, and parsley

    Instructions

    • Put chicken breasts in a ziploc bag, add 2 tablespoons of the harissa paste, seal the bag and massage until well coated. Refrigerate for an hour or more to allow chicken to marinate.
    • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and preheat oven to 400°F.
    • Toss potatoes with 1 ½ teaspoon olive oil, Toss golden beets and kohlrabi and toss red beets separately with remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. 
    • Arrange marinated chicken on sheet pan and surround with vegetables.
      Preparing Harissa Chicken Sheet Pan Supper
    • Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until beets and potatoes are fork tender and chicken is no longer pink inside and registers an internal temperature of 170°F. Baste chicken with additional harissa and return to oven for 1 minute.
    • Remove from oven and garnish with a dollop of yogurt, sliced green onions, fresh cilantro and mint. Transfer to a serving platter if you want and serve immediately.

      Clearly I can see why your sheet pan dinners are so popular! I love them too. And this one sounds amazing. I have never tried Harissa, surprisingly, because I love all the things in it! I will be giving this one a try!

        Thanks Terri,
        I don't use harissa often, but whenever I do, I wonder why I don't! Hope you get a chance to try it soon.

      I don't use kohlrabi much, either, but I must try it. Thank you for another fabulous sheet pan recipe!

      I've never had kohlrabi, but have been looking for the perfect recipe to try it out! As soon as I read "sheet pan" and "harissa" it was clear that this is it! Can't wait to try this.

        Hi Ann,
        Kohlrabi isn't a vegetable I use often, but it's good both cooked and raw. I combined it with apple in this Kohlrabi Winter Salad and added it to this crustless quiche, too. Hope you get a chance to try it!

      I can't find harissa where I live. I will have to look for it next trip to the city. My niece and nephew would absolutely LOVE this recipe. Your photos have me drooling!
