This harissa chicken has a touch of the exotic, but also large dollops of the familiar: a sauce of tomatoes and zucchini transformed by a dash of harissa, a red pepper paste from Tunisia that brings smoky notes, adding complexity. Sour cream and crispy jalapeño pieces crown a meal that adds a dash of different to your workaday dinner.
