Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons olive oil
8 ounces skinless boneless chicken breasts
8 ounces whole onion or 7 ounces chopped (1 2/3 cups)
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup bulgur
1/8 teaspoon cardamom
1/8 teaspoon coriander
1/8 teaspoon cumin
1 1/2 cups no-salt-added chicken stock
1 lemon to yield 1/4 teaspoon grated rind and 1 teaspoon juice
Few shakes salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat on high a nonstick skillet that is large enough to hold all the ingredients. Reduce heat to medium-high, and add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Saute the chicken breasts until golden on both sides. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, chop whole onion. Add the remaining oil to the pan, and saute the onion until it softens and begins to turn golden. Meanwhile, mince garlic and add.
  • Stir in the bulgur, cardamon, coriander and cumin and mix well. Add the stock, and reduce heat to medium-low. Return the chicken to the pan, cover and continue cooking until liquid has been absorbed.
  • Meanwhile, grate lemon rind, squeeze juice and add both to pan as chicken and bulgur cook. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
