Wash and dry the fresh produce.
Quarter the zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces.
Halve, peel, and small dice the onion.
Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Pit and roughly chop the olives.
In a small pot, combine the harissa paste, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water; whisk to thoroughly combine. Add the rice and heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 12 to 14 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the zucchini pieces and diced onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly softened. Transfer to a plate; cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the oregano. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken. Cook 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board.
*An instant-read thermometer should register 165°F
In the pan of reserved fond, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped garlic and chopped olives. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until slightly softened. Turn off the heat.
To the pot of cooked rice, add the crème fraîche and cooked vegetables; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Slice the cooked chicken crosswise. Serve the finished rice topped with the sliced chicken and garlic-olive topping. Enjoy!
