Olive Lemon Chicken With Bulgur Wheat Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Coat the chicken legs with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then sprinkle all over with the cinnamon, ginger, cayenne and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Transfer to the grill, skin-side up; cover and cook 12 minutes. Flip the chicken, cover and continue cooking until the skin is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees F, 10 to 15 more minutes. Grill the grapes, covered but turning occasionally, until slightly charred, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine 1 1/2 cups water, the butter, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Add the bulgur, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, covered, until tender, about 15 minutes. (Drain any excess water, if necessary.)
• Fluff the bulgur with a fork and stir in the grilled grapes, discarding the stems. Stir in the scallions, parsley and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt. Serve with the chicken.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a heat-proof bowl, pour the boiling water over the bulgur wheat. Add the lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, and 1 teaspoons of salt. Stir. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the bulgur to stand at room temperature for about 1 hour.
• Place the chicken breast on a baking sheet and rub it with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until just cooked. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Remove the chicken meat from the bones and discard the skin. Cut the chicken into medium dice and add to the tabbouleh. Add the scallions, mint, parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Season, to taste, and serve immediately or cover and refrigerate. The flavors will improve as it sits.

In the same skillet, cook and stir the carrots, onion, nuts, caraway seeds and cumin until onion starts to brown, 3-4 minutes. , Stir in bulgur. Gradually add broth; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; add the raisins, salt, cinnamon and chicken. Cover and simmer until bulgur is tender, 12-15 minutes.
