Instructions
- Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- Add the sliced chicken to a large mixing bowl. Add the harissa paste, lemon juice, salt, garlic, granulated onion, cumin, and pepper. Stir to combine and fully coat the chicken. Place in the fridge to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
- In another large bowl, combine the chopped cauliflower, olives, red onion, garbanzo beans, oil, garlic powder, salt, paprika, chili powder, cumin and lime juice. Mix to combine.
- Add the seasoned veggies to the sheet pan. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and add to the sheet pan nestling into the veggies throughout the pan, pour any excess sauce and seasonings on top. Place in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Optional, you can broil for an extra 3-5 minutes for a little crisp on top.
- While the chicken and veggies cook, make the sauce. Combine the tahini, greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, salt and water and mix to combine. Add additional water if you desire a thinner consistency but note this will thin out when mixed with the hot dish.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven, stir to mix in the juices and serve topped with the sauce and fresh parsley or lemon wedges.
