Preparation
1
Roast peppers

  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • To an unlined baking sheet, add peppers and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with half the Shawarma Spice Blend, salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 18-20 min, stirring halfway through, until tender. (NOTE: You will add chicken to the baking sheet halfway through roasting.)

2
Cook chicken

  • Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and remaining Shawarma Spice Blend.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. 
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then chicken. (NOTE: Cook in batches for 4 servings, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.) Sear for 1-2 min per side, until golden. 
  • When peppers are halfway done roasting, transfer chicken to the other side of sheet. 
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until chicken is cooked through and peppers are tender.**

3
Cook bulgur

  • Meanwhile, to a medium pot, add 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) salt and broth concentrate. Cover and bring to a boil over high. 
  • Once boiling, add bulgur. Stir to combine, then cover and remove from heat.
  • Let stand for 15-16 min, until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed. 

4
Prep and make toum

  • Meanwhile, halve tomatoes.
  • Roughly chop parsley.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon (use whole lemon for 4 servings). Cut any remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • To a small bowl, add mayo, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lemon juice and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.

5
Finish bulgur and make salad

  • To the pot with bulgur, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then stir until melted. 
  • Stir in roasted peppers, lemon zest and half the parsley. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining lemon juice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. 
  • Add tomatoes and remaining parsley. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.

6
Finish and serve

  • Thinly slice chicken.
  • Divide bulgur between plates. Top with chicken and tomato-herb salad.
  • Drizzle lemon-garlic toum over top.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if you like.

If you've opted to get chicken thighs, prep and cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and cook chicken breasts.
