Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Cut tomatoes into 1/4 inch pieces. Cut cucumbers into 1/4 inch half-moons. Roughly chop parsley. Peel, then cut half the onion (whole onion for 4 ppl) into small pieces. Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) then garlic and onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft, 2-3 min. Stir in bulgur, then 1/2 cup water and 1/2 tsp salt (dbl both for 4 ppl). Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let stand until tender and liquid is absorbed, 15-16 min. Fluff with a fork.
While bulgur cooks, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season both sides with Shawarma Spice Blend, salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chicken. Cook, turning occasionally, until golden-brown and cooked through, 5-6 min.**
While chicken cooks, combine vinegar with 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add spinach, tomatoes and cucumbers, then toss to combine. Stir in cooked bulgur until combined.
Cut chicken tenders in half crosswise. Divide tabbouleh between plates. Top with chicken. Sprinkle feta and parsley over top.
