Bold and savory chicken pinwheels flavored with spicy harissa, garlic, and lemon, rolled and cooked until juicy and tender. Perfect as a shareable appetizer or a flavorful main dish.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, butterflied
  • 3 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lay the butterflied chicken breasts flat and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the harissa paste, olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
  4. Spread the harissa mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  5. Roll each chicken breast tightly into a log and secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the rolled chicken on all sides until golden brown.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
  9. Slice into pinwheels, remove twine or toothpicks, and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of harissa to control the spice level.
  • Add spinach or roasted red peppers before rolling for extra flavor and color.
  • These pinwheels can be assembled ahead of time and cooked just before serving.
