Moroccan Grilled Chicken Salad

An exclusive to Niloufer's Kitchen

Moroccan Grilled Chicken Salad




Grilled Moroccan Chicken thigh



Basic Moroccan flavours and a basic marinade make up this very easy to do boneless pieces of chicken. Grill it for best results or then cook in a hot oven if you prefer. Sprinkle with lemon juice, slice and eat them on its own or as a salad.






Marinate 4 pcs of chicken breast or thigh ( about 500gms/1lb) in:
1 tbsp of Harrissa paste
3 tbsp olive oil
1-2 tbsp lemon juice
some salt


leave aside for 30- 40 minutes

Heat the bbq or the grill.
Cook the marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side till cooked. Thighs will take double the time to cook as breast. 

Slice the grilled chicken and serve warm with a salad on the side or on its own.

Tips: 
You can marinate the chicken for 24 hours. 
Bring it to room temperature before cooking.
