yoghurt and harissa chicken & rice salad

The new edition of Delicious strikes again, and this time we've learned from last week's frozen salad debacle by getting rid of the chicken thighs to make room for everything else.


On the face of it, it's a weird combination but it does work. A bit like Duck Face's bridal floral tiara.

The harissa chicken is nice, although I don't think my twin-skinned baking tray allowed the thighs to properly crisp up, and the rice salad is also nice. Although (again), you definitely want to use basmati rather than the Uncle Ben's long grain we had in the cupboard.

Despite these caveats, I think we'll have it again although maybe with two chicken breasts rather than six thighs between the two of us. We are on a diet after all.
