BULGUR SALAD WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Bring the chicken stock and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Stir in the bulgur and reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cook until the bulgur is tender but not mushy, stirring frequently so it doesn't stick to the pan, about 25 minutes. Drain any excess liquid that has not been absorbed and then fluff the bulgur with a fork.
• While the bulgur cooks, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast until the chicken is just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Let cool, and then dice.
• Combine the chicken, bulgur, cashews, raisins, cilantro and apple in a large bowl. Whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, curry powder, mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; pour over the chicken mixture and mix well. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Divide the lettuce leaves between 4 plates and top each with the bulgur and chicken salad.

LEMON BROILED CHICKEN WITH BULGUR SALAD

Steps:

• Put the bulgur, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 cups water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover immediately, remove from the heat and let stand until all of the water has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• Position an oven rack in the top of the oven, put a baking sheet on the rack and preheat the broiler on low. (If the broiler has just 1 setting, preheat the baking sheet on a rack 8 inches from the broiler.)
• Add the lemon juice, mustard, garlic and shallot to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Whisk in 1 teaspoon salt and a couple turns of ground black pepper. Drizzle in the olive oil, whisking until well combined. Pour half of the mixture into a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Reserve the remaining half for the bulgur.
• Add the chicken to the marinade, turning to coat evenly. (The chicken is ready for cooking immediately, but you can also marinate it, refrigerated, for up to 12 hours before cooking.)
• Carefully remove the preheated baking sheet from the oven. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade), sprinkle with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side up on the baking sheet. Broil until the chicken is crispy and golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of each piece registers 175 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the chicken is cooking, toss the bulgur with the tomatoes, parsley, mint, cucumbers and reserved marinade. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the chicken to a large platter and serve with the bulgur salad.
