Marinate the chicken thigh with the grilled chicken spice mix 30 minutes before cooking to give a flavour boost. Alternatively, use BBQ hot plate or grill to cook chicken for about 3-4 minutes each side, or until cooked through.


Ingredients

Bulgur Vegetables

  • ¼ cup bulgur wheat
  • ½ broccoli, stalk and florets finely diced
  • 50g snow peas
  • 1 tablespoon currants
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley leaves

Grilled Chicken Thighs

  • 150g chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon grilled chicken spice mix

Pumpkin Chutney

  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin chutney
  • 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley leaves

Steps

  1. Bring a small pot of salted water to the boil. Bring a half-full kettle to the boil. Preheat BBQ hot plate or grill to high (if using). Place bulgur in a small, heat-proof bowl. Cover with boiling water and leave to cook for about 15 minutes, until grains are tender then drain well.
  2. Pat chicken dry and place on a small plate. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil and grilled chicken spice mix. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for a few minutes.
  3. Cook broccoli in pot of boiling water for 2–3 minutes then add snow peas and cook a further 30 seconds, until vegetables are bright green and still crunchy.
  4. Heat a drizzle of oil in a small fry-pan on medium heat and cook chicken for 4–5 minutes each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan and cover, to rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing.
  5. In a small bowl mix pumpkin chutney, mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of parsley together well. In a medium bowl combine cooked bulgur and vegetables, currants and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and season to taste.
  6. To serve, place bulgur and vegetables onto a plate and top with grilled chicken. Spoon over pumpkin chutney and sprinkle with remaining parsley.
