Description

This Tunisian chicken with aromatic rice is a single dish rich in flavors and aromas. The recipe, inspired by North African tradition, combines the delicacy of the chicken with the fragrance of the rice, all enriched with spices and a spicy touch. I often prepare it when I want a comforting and tasty dish, perfect for a family dinner or with friends. The harissa sauce gives an unmistakable flavor, while the green peppers add a fresh and crunchy note. It is a dish that is prepared in a short time and that warms the heart, ideal for autumn evenings. You can vary the amount of harissa according to personal taste, for a more or less spicy touch.
