Harissa chicken with leeks, potatoes, and yogurt

Recipe Notes

This is a recipe that my mom cut out of the Sunday Parade magazine and saved for me with a note that said “Sounds yummy!” It did sound yummy and I was glad to finally get around to trying it.

However, it was whoa salty, even after decreasing the amount of salt in the original recipe (it called for 3 teaspoons total!). I’ve decreased it even further here…I’d suggest being careful with the salt and err on the side of less is more. I also decreased the amount of olive oil.

Harissa is a Tunisian hot chili pepper paste and I found it on the very top shelf of the grocery store in the aisle with the Asian ingredients (in case you don’t like to ask for directions like me). I loved the flavor of the fiery harissa paired with the coolness of the yogurt sauce…the potatoes and leeks on their own would make a great side dish on their own!
