Ingredients
- 1.25 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp harissa paste
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 whole lemon (juiced + zested)
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp paprika
- 3 whole fresh green onions, sliced thin
Instructions
- 1
Cut chicken breasts into 1.5-inch cubes. Thread onto metal skewers, leaving a tiny gap between pieces.
- 2
Mix harissa, honey, lemon zest, cumin, and paprika in a small bowl until smooth.
- 3
Brush skewers generously with harissa mixture on all sides. Season with salt and pepper.
- 4
Heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high until it smokes lightly, about 2 minutes.
- 5
Sear skewers 3 minutes per side without moving—aim for deep char marks. Cook until the thickest piece reads 165°F.
- 6
Remove from heat. Drizzle with lemon juice, scatter green onions and fresh cilantro on top. Serve hot with orange slices and cherry tomatoes alongside.
