Directions

Step 1
In a large bowl, combine harissa paste, 1 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange marinated chicken in a single layer in a large baking dish.
Step 3
Scatter Kalamata and green olives around the chicken. Tuck lemon slices among the pieces.
Step 4
Pour chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish.
Step 5
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. For extra crispy skin, finish under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully.
Step 6
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Great with couscous or crusty bread.
