Cooking Steps
- Combine Greek pesto and Lemon-Pepper Seasoning in a shallow dish.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then add to marinade. Toss to coat. Cover and set aside until ready to grill. (TIP: Got some extra time? Marinate the chicken in the fridge for a few hours to get some extra flavour!)
- Meanwhile, add 2/3 cup (1 cup) water, stock powder and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a medium pot. (TIP: We love using olive oil in this recipe!) Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, stir in bulgur until water returns to a boil. Cover and remove from heat.
- Let stand until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed, 16-18 min.
- Cut cucumber into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
- Peel, then cut half the onion (whole onion for 4 ppl) into ½-inch rounds (keeping rings together).
- Add onions to a plate. Drizzle 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over top, then season with salt and pepper.
- Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
- If desired, roughly chop spinach.
- Gather chicken, onions, a clean plate and tools on a platter, then head out to grill!.
- Add onions to one side of grill. Close lid and grill, flipping once, until tender, 5-7 min per side. Return to same plate.
- Add chicken to other side of the grill. Leave marinade behind in dish. Close lid and grill until cooked through, 6-8 min per side.** (TIP: Brush chicken with some marinade throughout grilling, if desired.)
- Transfer chicken to clean plate. Discard any remaining marinade.
- Cut grilled onions into bite-sized pieces.
