Notes
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes to restore crispness. Make-Ahead: The harissa drizzle can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in the fridge. The chicken can be marinated overnight. Substitutions: Use lamb or beef for the chicken, or omit for a vegetarian version with extra vegetables like bell peppers. For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free pizza dough. Serving Suggestion: Pair with a simple arugula salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette to complement the rich flavors.
