CHICKEN AND BULGUR SALAD

Steps:

• Make marinade: Stir 1/2 teaspoon oil, 1 teaspoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 4 cloves minced garlic, the cilantro stems, and zest. Place chicken in a nonreactive baking dish; rub with the marinade. Cover; refrigerate 2 hours (or overnight).
• Cook onion and remaining garlic in 1/2 teaspoon oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in bulgur. Add broth; bring to a boil. Cover; simmer over low heat until liquid has been absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Pat chicken dry; grill in a grill pan over medium-high heat until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Make dressing: Whisk lime juice, remaining tablespoon honey, the harissa, 1/4 teaspoon each cumin and salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
• Cook the green beans in boiling water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Plunge into an ice-water bath, and drain.
• Toss bulgur with 2 tablespoons dressing, the parsley, and cilantro leaves. Arrange watercress, bulgur mixture, chicken, beans, chickpeas, apricots, and nuts on a platter. Season with pepper. Drizzle with dressing. Serve with limes.

LEMON BROILED CHICKEN WITH BULGUR SALAD

Steps:

• Put the bulgur, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 cups water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover immediately, remove from the heat and let stand until all of the water has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• Position an oven rack in the top of the oven, put a baking sheet on the rack and preheat the broiler on low. (If the broiler has just 1 setting, preheat the baking sheet on a rack 8 inches from the broiler.)
• Add the lemon juice, mustard, garlic and shallot to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Whisk in 1 teaspoon salt and a couple turns of ground black pepper. Drizzle in the olive oil, whisking until well combined. Pour half of the mixture into a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Reserve the remaining half for the bulgur.
• Add the chicken to the marinade, turning to coat evenly. (The chicken is ready for cooking immediately, but you can also marinate it, refrigerated, for up to 12 hours before cooking.)
• Carefully remove the preheated baking sheet from the oven. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade), sprinkle with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side up on the baking sheet. Broil until the chicken is crispy and golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of each piece registers 175 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the chicken is cooking, toss the bulgur with the tomatoes, parsley, mint, cucumbers and reserved marinade. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the chicken to a large platter and serve with the bulgur salad.

CAPRESE-STYLE BULGUR WHEAT SALAD WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Put bulgur wheat in a medium size bowl and pour heated chicken broth over it. Mix well and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 - 45 minutes. This will soften the wheat but still leave it al dente, or with a bite.
• When bulgur wheat has reached desired tenderness, add the red wine vinegar, garlic, salt, dijon mustard, olive oil and pepper and mix thoroughly. Taste mixture for seasoning and adjust slightly if needed.
• Add the tomatoes, basil, chicken and mozzarella and combine thoroughly. Taste for seasoning once again and adjust as needed. I find that I might need a touch more acid and salt at this point, depending upon how acidic your tomatoes were and how your cooked chicken was seasoned.
• Allow to sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors to combine. Serve on bed of chopped romaine lettuce dressed with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and vinegar, if desired.
