Method

  1. Pour 130 ml water over the bulgur2, add 1 g salt, and cook for 12–15 minutes until tender.

  2. Rub the chicken1 with oregano, pepper, 1 g salt, 4 g olive6 oil, and half the lemon9 juice.

  3. Sear the chicken1 in a skillet for 5–6 minutes on each side until golden brown and the juices run clear.

  4. Dice the cucumber3 and tomato4, thinly slice the red5 onion, and crumble the feta7.

  5. Mix the yogurt, grated garlic10, remaining lemon9 juice, 4 g olive6 oil, and a pinch of pepper.

  6. Place the bulgur2 in a bowl as the base, then arrange the chicken1, cucumber3, tomato4, onion, olives6, and feta7 in sections.

  7. Drizzle with the yogurt sauce before serving.

Tips

Why it works
Fry the chicken until the juices run clear, so the meat stays juicy when it cools in the bowl. If the juice is cloudy, the meat is overcooked and will be tough.
Substitutions
Use brynza (45 g) instead of feta, it won't fall apart and gives a sharper taste. Replace the yogurt with sour cream (60 g), but the sauce will be thicker.
Common mistakes
Bulgur is ready when the water is fully absorbed and the grains have separated. If liquid is left, it is overcooked and sticky.
Storing and reheating
Keep for 2 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave for 1–1.5 minutes, covering the plate. Add the sauce after reheating.
Serve with
Serve with crusty baguette or lavash to scoop up the sauce and cheese. Good for a dinner after work when you have no time for complicated cooking.
