Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut chicken breasts into 1.5-inch cubes. Thread onto metal skewers, leaving a tiny gap between pieces.

  2. Step 2

    Mix harissa, honey, lemon zest, cumin, and paprika in a small bowl until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Brush skewers generously with harissa mixture on all sides. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high until it smokes lightly, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Sear skewers 3 minutes per side without moving—aim for deep char marks. Cook until the thickest piece reads 165°F.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from heat. Drizzle with lemon juice, scatter green onions and fresh cilantro on top. Serve hot with orange slices and cherry tomatoes alongside.

Tools you’ll need

  • metal skewers (two 10-inch)
  • grill pan or 12-inch cast-iron skillet
  • small mixing bowl
  • pastry brush
  • instant-read thermometer
