  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Mix 2 tbsp of the harissa with 3 tbsp of the yogurt. Rub all over the chicken breasts and set aside to marinate while you start the veg.
  2. Toss the squash and the onions with remaining harissa, mixed with 2 tbsp oil (sunflower, vegetable or olive is fine), and some seasoning in a large roasting tin. Roast for 10 mins.
  3. Remove veg from the oven, add the chicken to the tin, then roast for a further 20-25 mins until the chicken and veg are cooked through. Serve with the remaining yogurt on the side, and a big bowl of couscous or rice.

    A quick and simple recipe, full of flavour! The chicken went lovely with the roasted butternut squash and red onion. I cooked the vegetables longer before adding the chicken, just to make sure the butternut squash had soften enough. Definitely recommend anyone to try out this recipe!

    Lovely and so easy. Cooked vegetables for longer than stated and used chicken thighs. Used a whle jar of Barts Harissa paste (but we eat very spicy food anyway) Will definitely do again.

    Pretty nice dish.I marinated the chicken for more than one hour, just to get more flavour.I also cooked the vegetables about 20 minutes, and after that i added the chicken. The yoghurt at the side was necessary because there is no sauce.We ate couscous and a green salad with it. My result can be seen at moniqueskeukentje.blogspot.com

    Excellent recipe, tasty and healthy!! I agree though that the veg can do with an extra few minutes before the chicken goes in depending how thick you cut the squash wedges. Will definitely make this again!

    My family and friends absolutelylove this recipe, i also include a red pepper deseeded and cut in to chunks. This really adds to the flavour and makes it more juicy.

    Very quick to prepare and extremely tasty too, left out the butternut squash and added boiled potatoes which soaked up the juices, served with a green salad.

    Really nice dish. I hadn't used Harissa before, but thought it had a great flavour. After reading the comments I cooked the veg for about half an hour. Served with couscous and green salad. Will happily make again.

    I'd never heard of harissa and neither had my dinner guests so this was a new experience for all of us! I added red and green peppers to add a bit more colour and more vegetables. Everyone loved it and it had plenty of flavour without being too spicy. I will definitely be cooking this again!!!

    This was a great quick and easy mid week meal. So tasty too, slightly too spicy for me so I will reduce the Harissa paste next time but that is down to personal preference. I added some peppers too. This is going to become a firm favourite.

    This is a firm favourite in our house. So tasty, especially given how ridiculously easy it is. Marinating the chicken for longer makes it more tender.

    Really nice recipe, easy too. I marinated the chicken for longer (thanks to the tips above) and also didnt use squash as my OH hates it. I used a variety of veg I could roast instead (courgette, peppers, onion etc). Also served with cousous.

    I made this for dinner this evening and it was fab! Having read the comments section I baked the veg for 15-20 mins before adding the chicken, and like another user I used whole jar of Al'fez harissa as we love spicy food. I also added chunks of red pepper to the veg mix, it made it nice and colourful, and more importantly tasted great. I served mine with spiced mint and coriander cous cous, and yoghurt to dollop. A real winner of a recipe, and almost embarrassingly easy to make!
