CHICKEN TABBOULEH BOWLS WITH CILANTRO & CREAMY FETA SAUCE



Chicken Tabbouleh Bowls with Cilantro & Creamy Feta Sauce image

We're big fans of the ubiquitous grain bowl, but we have to admit: This one's extra special. It's a one-bowl feast that's positively bursting with Middle Eastern-inspried flavors. The base is a lemony bulgur salad with cucumber, tomato, scallions, cilantro, and feta. On top, there's harissa-spiced chicken and a drizzle of creamy feta sauce. It doesn't get much better than this!

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 unit Persian Cucumber
1 unit Roma Tomato
2 unit Scallions
¼ ounce Cilantro
1 unit Lemon
½ cup Bulgur Wheat
1 tablespoon Harissa Powder
2 tablespoon Sour Cream
½ cup Feta Cheese
10 ounce Chicken Cutlets
Salt
Pepper
10 teaspoon Olive Oil

Steps:

  • • Wash and dry all produce. • Zest and quarter lemon. Trim and finely dice cucumber. Finely dice tomato. Trim and thinly slice scallions. Finely chop cilantro.
  • • In a small pot, combine bulgur, 1 cup water, ½ tsp harissa powder (you'll use more later), and ½ tsp salt. (For 4 servings, use 2 cups water, 1 tsp harissa powder, and 1 tsp salt.) Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until water has absorbed and bulgur is tender, 12-15 minutes. • Keep covered off heat.
  • • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, 2 TBSP feta (4 TBSP for 4 servings), and a large drizzle of olive oil. (You'll use the remaining feta later.) Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
  • • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season all over with ½ tsp harissa powder (1 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (Use more harissa powder if you like things spicy.) • Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a medium pan (use a large pan for 4) over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. TIP: If chicken begins to brown too quickly, lower heat to medium. • Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice crosswise.
  • • Meanwhile, squeeze juice from half the lemon into a large bowl. Whisk in lemon zest, 2 TBSP olive oil, and ¼ tsp salt. (For 4 servings, use juice from 1 whole lemon, 4 TBSP olive oil, and ½ tsp salt.) • If necessary, drain any excess water from cooked bulgur; stir bulgur into bowl with dressing along with cucumber, tomato, scallions, half the cilantro, and remaining feta. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • • Divide tabbouleh between bowls or plates. Top with chicken. Drizzle with feta sauce and sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

QUINOA TABBOULEH WITH FETA



Quinoa Tabbouleh with Feta image

This quinoa tabbouleh is one of my go-to recipes. Quinoa, a grain that originated in South America, is considered a superfood because it contains more protein than most grains. It has a nutty flavor that tastes wonderful with the cucumbers, tomatoes, scallions, feta and mint, and it's a great gluten-free alternative to traditional bulgur wheat. Best of all, you can make this salad ahead; if it sits at room temperature for a few hours, the lemon vinaigrette really has time to soak into the quinoa and vegetables, so the salad is even more delicious!

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup quinoa
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
1/4 cup good olive oil
1 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts (5 scallions)
1 cup chopped fresh mint leaves (2 bunches)
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 hothouse cucumber, unpeeled, seeded and medium-diced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved through the stem
2 cups medium-diced feta (8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Pour 2 cups of water into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the quinoa and 1 teaspoon of salt, lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, until the grains are tender and open (they'll have little curly tails). Drain, place in a bowl and immediately add the lemon juice, olive oil and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt.*
  • In a large bowl, combine the scallions, mint, parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt* and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Add the quinoa and mix well. Carefully fold in the feta and taste for seasonings. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate and serve cold.
  • * Ina uses Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt, which is coarser than other brands; if you are using a finer-grain kosher salt such as Morton, use the smaller amount.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN AND POTATOES WITH FETA, LEMON AND DILL



Sheet-Pan Chicken and Potatoes With Feta, Lemon and Dill image

In this simple but elegant sheet-pan dinner, chicken thighs and potatoes roast together at a high temperature, coming out crispy and golden. A generous squeeze of lemon juice, along with a scattering of fresh dill and feta cheese, elevates this dish from weeknight meat and potatoes to dinner-party fare. While the chicken will still be delicious if marinated for just 30 minutes, marinating it for several hours will yield the best results.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice (from about half a lemon)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 to 2 pounds small bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (4 to 6 thighs)
4 small Yukon gold potatoes (about 1 pound), cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons oil with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, the garlic, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the chicken thighs toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 8 hours, covered, in the refrigerator.
  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. On a sheet pan, drizzle the diced potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss well and move to one side of the pan. Pat the chicken thighs dry and place them, evenly spaced, on the other side of the pan.
  • Roast for 15 minutes, toss the potatoes, then return everything to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through, the skin is golden brown, and the potatoes are tender, 15 to 25 more minutes, depending on the size of the thighs. If the potatoes are not quite tender, remove the chicken thighs to a plate to rest, and return the potatoes to the oven to roast until tender, another 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Place the chicken and potatoes on a serving platter, and sprinkle them 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Scatter the feta and dill over the potatoes, sprinkle the whole dish with salt and pepper, and serve hot.
