Method
- Place the chicken in a dish with the harissa, yogurt, garlic, olive oil and mint. Season and mix together to coat the chicken. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the rice in boiling salted water for 10-12 minutes until tender, then drain, refresh under cold water and drain again. Place in a bowl and add the cucumber, chilli, sesame oil and lime juice.
- Preheat the grill to high. Place the chicken on a baking sheet and grill for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Slice up and mix half of the chicken into the rice salad, then top with the remaining chicken. Garnish with a few coriander leaves. Mix some yogurt with a little harissa pastein a small bowl and serve with the chicken salad.
