Method

To make the marinade, mix the garlic, cumin, coriander, harissa, lemon juice, salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper in a large bowl. Using a sharp knife, slash each chicken breast diagonally 3 times. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and rub well with the marinade. Cover with cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Line a baking tray with foil. Place the chicken on the foil, slashed side up. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the chicken is tender and cooked through, with no pink showing. While the chicken is cooking, deseed the peppers and cut into 3cm chunks. Cut the onion into 12 wedges. Trim the courgette and cut diagonally into 1.5cm slices. Toss the vegetables with the olive oil, crushed chilli, a pinch of sea salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
Heat a large frying pan and add the vegetables. Stir fry over a medium high heat for 6 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned. Add the chickpeas and toss together for 1-2 minutes until hot. Divide the vegetable and chickpeas between four warmed plates and top with the chicken. Drizzle over any juices and serve with spoonfuls of yogurt. Garnish with roughly chopped flat leaf parsley or coriander if you like.
