Gather ingredients including chicken, olive oil, spices, garlic, lemon, cucumber, onion, tomatoes, and cilantro.

Cut up about 2 cups of chicken, using both chicken thighs and chicken breast.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the chicken.

Sprinkle in 2 teaspoons of cumin, 2 teaspoons of paprika, and optionally, 1 teaspoon of cayenne. Add 1 teaspoon of harissa.

Mix the chicken and spices thoroughly.

Preheat the oven on the broil function for about 5-10 minutes.

Spread the chicken mixture on a sheet pan and place it in the oven to broil for about 5-7 minutes.

While the chicken is broiling, prepare the sauce by grinding 4-5 cloves of garlic in a mortar and pestle or chopping it on a cutting board.

Juice one large lemon and add it to a bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of harissa to the lemon juice and garlic, then mix together and sprinkle with salt.

After 5 minutes, check the chicken in the oven; if done, remove it and place it in a bowl.

Drizzle 2 spoonfuls of the sauce over the hot chicken and toss it, letting it sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Slice one Persian cucumber into half-moon shapes and set aside.

Thinly slice half a red onion and set aside.

Rough chop the cilantro and set aside.

Cut one cup of cherry tomatoes in half and set aside.

Plate the dish by placing previously made basmati rice and hummus on the plate.

Add the sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and red onions on top of the rice and hummus.

Garnish with chopped cilantro and drizzle with the lemon sauce and a little olive oil.
