So Good!

Typically I don't like chicken dishes but ordered this based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews. Wow, the dish is so tasty. I like spicy food and the harissa is perfect. The vegetables are also well seasoned. Have already ordered twice.

Delicious!

This chicken was sooo good. I only put 1/2 of the harissa sauce and it was just perfect. I wish I had kept the rest of the sauce for other dishes as it is very tasty, I will do so next time. It was flavorful and the vegetables complemented the chicken very well.

Flavor and texture combination to die for - fantastic dish!!

I am so glad G&T think bold. This is our favorite dish. Spicy but balanced with an outstanding flavor contrast and texture variety. Thank you.

Ridiculously delicious.

I generally don't love peppers but the sweet crunchy yellow and red peppers were delicious and it was overall just a symphony of flavors and textures. I don't have a microwave so I sautéed the chicken, adding some marsala wine, nutmeg, dried rosemary, and half the harissa (having read someone complain it was too spicy.) I removed the chicken and sautéed all the vegetables except the kale in the juices and seasoning until they were just crunchy, removed the vegetables and added some cornstarch that had been mixed with a little cold water to the lan to thicken the sauce, which I poured over the chicken and veg, and the raw kale which was slightly wilted by the heat. Sprinkled on mint and feta. It was delicious. And so quick! For me, half the harissa was the right amount of spice and heat. The portions were substantial. Next time I might pound the chicken breasts to cook more evenly. This will definitely be a frequent dish for me!

Delicious

Spicy, tangy and delicious...veggies go very well with the dish...thought mint and feta were unnecessary however...another amazing addition! Hats off to whoever came up with that harissa sauce.
