- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish, without overcrowding.

Notes
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, ideally for 2-4 hours if you have time. Avoid marinating for more than 24 hours.
- Feel free to tweak the harissa paste to match your taste. If you like it mild, go easy on the paste. Want more spice? Add a bit extra!
- Make sure to coat each chicken piece evenly with the marinade for the best flavor in every bite.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should read 165°F (74°C) to ensure thorough cooking and safety.
