BULGUR SALAD

  • 35g bulgur wheat
  • ¼ broccoli
  • 1 tomato
  • ¼ capsicum
  • ½ bag baby spinach
  • 25g chermoula dressing
  • ½ teaspoon vinegar (e.g. red wine, white wine, cider)
  • ¼ teaspoon honey

CHERMOULA CHICKEN

  • 140g lean chicken breast
  • 1 teaspoon chermoula chicken mix
  • ½ clove garlic, minced
  • Spray oil

TO SERVE

  • 1 pottle chermoula drizzle
  • 1 tablespoon mint, thinly sliced

  6. Spray pan with oil, add chicken to pan and cook for 2-3 minutes each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked through. Alternatively, cook on BBQ.
  7. Set aside, covered, to rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing thinly. Reserve any resting juices.
  8. Add drained bulgur and broccoli to bowl with other salad ingredients. Add chermoula dressing, vinegar and honey and toss well to combine. Season to taste.
