Make the marinade. Whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, harissa, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Marinate the chicken. Add the chicken to a large Ziplock bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Place the bag in the fridge and let it sit for 30 minutes or so (no longer than 1 hour).
Cook the chicken. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and saute for 7-10 minutes or until browned on all sides and cooked through.
