Harissa Chicken

Not only is this a quick and easy dinner, it's also fantastic for preparing ahead.  And just when you thought it couldn't get any better - it also works brilliantly cooked ahead of time ... slice up the cooked chicken when you're ready to serve and either enjoy it at room temperature or give it some gentle help in the microwave.
