Step 1

Thinly chop the garlic and thyme and dice the chicken. Add these ingredients to a large bowl with the lemon juice, harissa paste and a dash of salt. Mix well, then allow the chicken to marinate in a refrigerator for 30 minutes. Slice up the potatoes, onions and pepper. Place these vegetables in a large baking tray and drizzle over two tablespoons of olive oil and the remaining salt. Bake the vegetables for 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 °C. Remove the tray from the oven and add the chicken, mixing well. Cook for a further 20 to 25 minutes. You can then add the broccoli and pour over 200 ml of hot vegetable stock. Cover the tray with foil and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the broccoli is tender. You can remove the foil towards the end of cooking if you prefer the broccoli slightly charred.
