Directions
Share
-
Heat the oil in a frying pan and stir-fry the chicken over a high heat for 3-4 minutes until golden all over. Remove and set aside.
-
In the residual oil, add the onion, carrot and thyme to the pan and sauté gently for 10-15 minutes until soft and starting to colour.
-
Add the garlic cloves, harissa and the rest of the ground spices, and cook for 1 minute more.
-
Stir in the pistachios, sultanas, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, parsley and courgettes, then pour over the chopped tomatoes and chicken stock. Cook for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce, then add the chicken breasts back to the pan. Stir well, season generously and transfer to a large pie dish.
-
Mix the crumble ingredients (except the cinnamon) together in a bowl to form a breadcrumb-like consistency and use to cover the chicken mixture.
-
Sprinkle the cinnamon on top and bake in a preheated oven at 200C for 30-35 minutes until bubbling at the sides and golden on top.
