Ingredients

CREAMY CHICKEN AND SUNDRIED TOMATO WITH BULGUR WHEAT

  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2½ teaspoons bulgur spice mix
  • 1½ cups bulgur wheat
  • 1 courgette
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 tablespoon thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoons garlic paste
  • 1 pack diced chicken thighs
  • 1 pottle sundried tomato paste
  • ½ cup cream
  • 1 bag baby spinach leaves

TO SERVE

  • ½ bag shaved Parmesan cheese

Steps

  1. Bring stock, water, bulgur spice mix and a pinch of salt to the boil in a medium pot (with a lid) on high heat. As soon as it boils, add bulgur, stir and cook for 1 minute. Turn off heat, cover and leave for 15-18 minutes, until tender. Do not lift lid during cooking. Once finished steaming, fluff up grains with a fork.
  2. Cut courgette in half lengthways then slice 0.5cm and dice tomato 1cm. Set aside. Finely chop thyme leaves and place in a medium bowl with the garlic paste. Set aside.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and add to bowl with thyme leaves and garlic paste. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Add chicken to pan and cook for 3-5 minutes each side, until golden.
  4. Add sundried tomato paste, courgette and tomato to pan with chicken and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Reduce heat to low-medium, add cream and cook for about 3 minutes, until sauce has thickened slightly and chicken is cooked through.
  5. Add baby spinach to pan and toss to combine. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. divide bulgur wheat between bowls and top with creamy chicken and sundried tomato. Sprinkle over Parmesan cheese.
