Preparation
1
Prep

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Add 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, peel, then mince or grate garlic. Cut cucumber in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch half-moons. Drain, then roughly chop olives. Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces. Zest, then juice half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 ppl). Cut any remaining lemon into wedges.

Cook bulgur

Add garlic and bulgur to the boiling water. Stir to combine, then remove from heat. Cover and let stand, until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed, 15-16 min.

Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with Mediterranean Spice Blend, 1 tsp (2 tsp) Za'atar Spice Blend, salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Sear until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side. Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven, until cooked through,12-14 min.**
