Serves: 2, Difficulty: Expert
Preparation Time: 30 minutes, Cooking Time: 1 hour
Ingredients
- 150 grams of cracked wheat bulgur
- 300 grams of chicken, diced
- 30 grams of butter
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 liter of chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander
Method
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt, black pepper, cinnamon, and cardamom. Sauté until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Add the bulgur to the pot, stirring to coat the grains in the spices and chicken juices.
- Pour in the chicken stock, bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 25 minutes, or until the bulgur is tender and the stock is absorbed.
- Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it rest, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
- Gently fluff the bulgur with a fork, then transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the chopped coriander.
Tips
- To intensify the flavors, marinate the chicken in spices for an hour before cooking.
- For a richer taste, substitute a portion of the chicken stock with a splash of white wine.
