Make It Leaner
A little harissa can go a long way. Dollop each portion of chicken and vegetables with just 1 teaspoon harissa and you’ll cut 40 calories and 4.5 grams of fat per serving. Enjoy the remaining harissa the next day as a dip for veggies or with your morning eggs.
Ingredient IQ
Tunisian chile paste, or harissa (from the word harasa, or “to pound”), is classically made from rehydrated dried chiles that are crushed with seasonings and olive oil with a mortar and pestle. Used as both a condiment and an ingredient, its deep red color matches its fiery heat. Our green harissa is an herb-driven take made from fresh parsley and cilantro in a smoky-spicy blend of cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne.

1

Prep and roast the vegetables and chicken

Heat the oven to 425°F.
  • Scrub or peel the carrots and parsnip and trim the ends; cut the carrots and parsnip lengthwise into quarters, then into 2-inch lengths. On one end of a sheet pan [on 1 sheet pan], toss the carrots and parsnip with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil; season with salt and pepper and spread in an even layer.
  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Cut the chicken crosswise into 1-inch-thick strips. On the other end of the sheet pan [on a 2nd sheet pan], toss the chicken with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil; season with salt and pepper and spread in an even layer.
Roast, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned and the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and, if desired, toss the vegetables and chicken together; season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the vegetables and chicken roast, prepare the salad.

Make the salad; prep the dill

  • Thinly slice the Brussels sprouts.
  • Core and thinly slice the apple.
  • Coarsely chop enough dill to measure 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] for garnish. Save any remaining dill for another use.
In a large bowl, toss together the Brussels sprouts, apple, and half the house dressing (set aside the remaining dressing for serving). Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the chicken, vegetables, and salad to individual plates. Drizzle each portion of chicken and vegetables with 1 tablespoon green harissa and garnish with the dill. Serve the remaining dressing and harissa on the side.
