Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- Lightly oil the grill. While you prep, preheat the grill to medium (approx. 400°F).
- In a shallow dish, combine pesto and Lemon-Pepper Seasoning.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then add to the pesto mixture. 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, to a medium pot, add 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water, stock powder and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. (TIP: We love using olive oil in this recipe!) 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.
- Meanwhile, 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 servings) into 1/2-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 you like, roughly chop spinach.
- To one side of the grill, add onions. Close lid and grill for 5-7 min per side, until tender. Return to the same plate.
- Add chicken to the other side of the grill (leave marinade behind in the dish). Close lid and grill for 6-8 min per side, until cooked through.** (TIP: Brush chicken with some of the extra marinade throughout grilling, if you like.)
- Transfer chicken to a clean plate. Discard any remaining marinade.
- Cut grilled onions into bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil.
- Add grilled onions, cucumbers and tomatoes. Set aside.
- Fluff bulgur with a fork.
- To the large bowl with salad, add bulgur and spinach. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide bulgur salad between bowls.
- Top with chicken.
- Sprinkle feta over top.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top.
If you've opted to get chicken thighs, prep and cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and cook chicken breasts.**
