  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  3. Remove chicken breasts from the marinade and place on the pre-heated grill. Cook over medium-high heat until dark grill marks appear, about 7 minutes per side.

  4. Garnish with harissa sauce and a sprig of tarragon.

Recipe Note

Tarragon is one of the most aromatic and sweetest herbs that there is. It's good with chicken and really nice in a marinade like this. A good way to mix up the same old grilled chicken recipes.
