Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 3 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • ¼ cup (84g) Harissa Paste
  • ¼ cup (84g) Honey
  • ⅓ cup (80g) Lemon Juice (about 2 large lemons)
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano

For the Veggies

  • 1 large Red Onion
  • 2 Yellow Squash
  • 2 Zucchini Squash
  • 2 Red Bell Peppers
  • ¼ cup Olive Oil
  • Salt and Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Mix the chicken marinade ingredients together before tossing with the chicken thighs. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • To cook, preheat your Traeger to 500ºF with the lid closed. Place a cast iron or stainless steel grill pan on the grill to preheat for the veggies.
  • While the grill preheats, cut the veggies into strips and toss with 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the chicken and veggies to the grill and close the lid. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the chicken develops grill marks on one side before flipping. Stir the veggies. (You can place larger pieces of squash directly on the grill grates if you have space.) Close the lid and cook for another 5-10 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 170ºF.
  • Let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes before serving with the veggies, basmati rice, tzatziki sauce, crumbled feta, cucumber slices, pickled onions or kalamata olives, or your choice of Mediterranean sides.

Notes

You can make this recipe with boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded thin to an even thickness.
