Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • kosher salt, pepper
  • 6 to 8 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 tablespoons harissa spread or sauce (not harissa paste, or if you have paste use a lot less)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 cups cooked Jasmine rice
  • Optional: more lemon wedges, tzatziki sauce, spicy mayo
Instructions

  1. Put the chicken, kosher salt, pepper, and garlic in the slow cooker. Mix the harissa, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, cumin, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl and pour over the chicken. Set your slow cooker to low for 6 to 8 hours, stirring a few times.

  2. Use two forks to shred the chicken into smaller pieces right in the slow cooker.

  3. Serve chicken over the rice with optional toppings such as lemon wedges to squeeze over top, tzatziki, or spicy mayo drizzled over top.
