Ingredients

2 (4-oz.) boneless skinless chicken breasts, slightly pounded flat
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp cumin, ground
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup fine-grain bulgur wheat
Zest 1 lemon
1/4 cup almond slivers, toasted
1/4 cup mint leaves, chopped
Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

In a plastic bag add chicken, oil, red pepper flakes, cumin and lemon juice. Close, toss to coat and let marinate for 30 minutes in refrigerator.
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Remove from heat; add bulgur and lemon zest, cover, and let sit for 5 to 7 minutes, until bulgur has absorbed all of the broth. Transfer to a serving bowl; mix in almonds and mint and season with salt and black pepper.
Remove chicken from marinade, place on grill or grill pan and cook for about 4 minutes per side, until a poke reveals clear juice. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before cutting into 1-inch cubes. Toss with bulgur salad and serve warm or cold.
