Harissa Chicken & Sweet Potato Bowls

A North African-inspired sheet-pan bowl built around thin, whole-roasted harissa chicken cutlets, sweet potato, chickpeas, broccoli, lemon-sumac yogurt, and a measured fresh finish of feta, herbs, pickled red onions, and lemon. It uses the harissa, cumin, coriander, garlic, citrus, chickpea, and herb flavor world without pretending to be a traditional tagine. The macro move is a full 1.5 lb package of chicken breast, one intentionally portioned sweet potato, a full can of chickpeas, measured oil, and just enough feta to register. The finished bowl lands around 526 calories with more than 57g protein, while the cold yogurt and acidic toppings keep four days of reheated chicken from eating dry.
