with Cilantro & Creamy Feta Sauce
We’re big fans of the ubiquitous grain bowl, but we have to admit: This one’s extra special. It’s a one-bowl feast that’s positively bursting with Middle Eastern–inspired flavors. The base is cucumber, tomato, scallions, cilantro, and feta with lemony bulgur—a hearty whole grain that’s long been a staple of both Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. Topping the bowl, there’s harissa-spiced chicken and a drizzle of creamy feta sauce. It doesn’t get much better than this!

• Wash and dry produce. • Zest and quarter lemon. Trim and finely dice half the cucumber (all for 4 servings). Finely dice tomato. Trim and thinly slice scallions. Finely chop cilantro.
• In a small pot, combine bulgur, 1 cup water, 1⁄2 tsp harissa powder (you’ll use more later), and 1⁄2 tsp salt. (For 4 servings, use 2 cups water, 1 tsp harissa powder, and 1 tsp salt.) Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until water has absorbed and bulgur is tender, 12-15 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to use in step 5.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, 2 TBSP feta (4 TBSP for 4 servings), and a large drizzle of olive oil. (You’ll use the remaining feta later.) Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season all over with 1⁄2 tsp harissa powder (1 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (Use more harissa powder if you like things spicy.) • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. TIP: If chicken begins to brown too quickly, lower heat to medium.
• Meanwhile, squeeze juice from half the lemon into a large bowl. Whisk in lemon zest, 2 TBSP olive oil, and 1⁄4 tsp salt. (For 4 servings, use 4 TBSP olive oil and 1⁄2 tsp salt.) • If necessary, drain any excess water from cooked bulgur; stir bulgur into bowl with dressing along with cucumber, tomato, scallions, half the cilantro, and remaining feta. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide tabbouleh between bowls or plates. Top with chicken. Drizzle with feta sauce and sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
