Preparation

Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F.
Wash and dry all produce.
To a medium pot, add 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) and vegetable stock. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
Once boiling, add bulgur. Cover, remove from heat and let stand for 15-16 min, until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Fluff with a fork and season with salt and pepper, if you like.

Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1-inch pieces.
Cut zucchini in half, lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half moons.
Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces.
To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add veggies and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with Turkish Spice Blend, salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
Roast in the middle of the oven for 15-17 min, until tender-crisp.

Meanwhile, in a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over medium.
Add falafel and almonds. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan. Cook in batches for 4 servings if needed, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.) Lightly smash falafel into smaller pieces and pan-fry for 4-5 min, until golden.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange on an unlined baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over top. Roast in the bottom of the oven for 18-22 min, until golden and cooked through. **

Meanwhile, strip mint leaves from stems. Roughly chop mint leaves.
Zest, then juice half the lemon (use same for 4 servings). Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
In a small bowl, combine yogurt sauce, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water, lemon zest and half the mint.

Toss veggies with lemon juice.
Divide bulgur and veggies between bowls.
Thinly slice chicken.
Top with chicken and crumbled falafel.
Drizzle with yogurt sauce mixture.
Sprinkle feta, almonds and remaining mint over top.
Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if you like.

If you've opted to add chicken breasts, pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange on an unlined baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over top. Roast in the bottom of the oven for 18-22 min, until golden and cooked through. **
