Cooking Steps

Cook bulgur
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. 
  • Wash and dry all produce. 
  • To a medium pot, add 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, add bulgur. Cover, remove from heat and let stand for 15-16 min, until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • Fluff with a fork.
Cook chicken
2
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium. 
  • While the pan heats, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and Smoked Paprika-Garlic Blend. 
  • When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then chicken. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in 2 batches if needed, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.) Cook for 2-3 min per side, until golden. 
  • Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. 
  • Bake chicken in the middle of the oven for 12-14 min, until cooked through.**
Prep
3
  • Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Finely chop parsley.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Core, then finely chop jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños.)
Make jalapeño-ranch dressing
4
  • To a small bowl, add mayo, sour cream, half the parsley, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lemon juice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic and 1 1/2 tbsp (3 tbsp) jalapeños. (NOTE: Like things extra garlicky or spicy? Add more garlic and/or jalapeños!) 
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Finish bulgur and make salad
5
  • To the pot with bulgur, add lemon zest and remaining parsley. Season with pepper, then fluff with a fork to combine.
  • To a large bowl, add 2 tsp (4 tsp) lemon juice and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) oil. (TIP: Add 1/4 tsp [1/2 tsp] sugar, if you like.)
  • Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
  • To the vinaigrette, add spinach and tomatoes, then toss to combine.
Finish and serve
6
  • Thinly slice chicken.
  • To the bowl with salad, add bulgur, then toss to combine.
  • Divide bulgur salad between bowls. Top with chicken.
  • Drizzle with jalapeño-ranch dressing.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top and sprinkle with any remaining jalapeños.
