Directions

- Season chicken with cumin, salt and pepper. Then add another drizzle of Harissa Olive Oil to a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat and cook chicken 5-6 minutes per side or until cooked through.
- Brush harissa honey glaze over the chicken and continue cooking for 2 more minutes. Remove chicken from heat and let rest while preparing bowls.
