Serves: 4
Preparation time: 10 minutes

Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs
- 150ml pot natural yoghurt
- 2 tbsp harissa paste
- 12 shallots, peeled
- 1 packet mixed peppers, red, yellow & green, quartered, seeds and core removed
Method
Make cuts in the skin of the chicken thighs to let the marinade penetrate. Mix together the yogurt and harissa, toss into the chicken and leave to marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes or for several hours if time.
Pre heat oven to 200c/180c fan/gas mark 6. Place the chicken in a single layer in an ovenproof casserole or roasting tin. Add the peppers and shallots, sprinkle with a little oil.
