Tabbouleh & chicken bowl
2
| Prep | 35 min | |
| Cook | 5 min |
- Bulgur, ½ cup(s), uncooked
- Extra virgin olive oil, 2 tsp(s)
- Chicken breast, raw, 6 oz(s)
- Parsley, fresh, 1 cup(s), chopped
- Fresh mint, ½ cup(s), chopped
- Cucumber, ½ medium, peeled and finely chopped
- Cherry tomatoes, 20 cherry tomato(es), quartered
- Lemon, ½ medium, juice and zest
- Black pepper, 1 dash(es)
- Avocado, 4 tbsp(s), sliced
Method
Start by soaking the bulgur in ½ cup boiling water, covered, for half an hour or until it has soaked up all the water and turned soft. If it’s still a little chewy, add a splash more hot water and wait another 10 to 15 minutes. Drain any extra water, and set aside.
Heat a skillet over a medium heat and add oil. Cook chicken on both sides until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
In a large bowl, combine the bulgur with the parsley, mint, cucumber, tomato, and lemon zest. Add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil, plus the lemon juice and toss well to combine. Taste, and season with black pepper if desired. Top with the avocado.
