Harissa Honey Chicken Bowls are healthy and gluten free, but also packed with flavor! In this CAVA copycat recipe, chicken breasts are glazed with a harissa honey sauce for a delicious sweet and spicy combo.

Add the honey, harissa, lemon juice, garlic cloves and cayenne pepper to a small saucepan on the stove over medium high heat.
Cook down, stirring regularly until the sauce is thick. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Coat the chicken breasts in the Moroccan seasoning.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast iron skillet on the stove over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Brush the prepared harissa honey glaze over the chicken and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and rest on a cutting board while preparing the bowls.
Divide the lentils, tomato cucumber salad, and pickled onions between four bowls.
Dice the chicken and divide it between the bowls.
Add the tzatziki sauce, hummus and feta cheese to the bowls.
Notes
Harissa paste (or sauce) can be found at stores like Trader Joe's, Whole Foods or your local grocery store. It will likely be found with the International foods, or near the other condiments, like BBQ sauce and ketchup.
The chicken can be cooked on a grill, instead of in a skillet on the stove. Simply preheat your grill to medium high heat and cook the chicken for approximately 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Glaze the chicken, let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove it from the grill.
