Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with harissa paste, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the marinated chicken thighs. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Create the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Then, stir in the chopped green olives and dates, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Combine and Melt

    Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the olive and date mixture over the chicken, and top with shredded mozzarella. Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, and serve hot.
