Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs skinless bone in
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium-size onion chopped (~1 cup)1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 jar sun-dried tomatoes 8oz. drained and roughly chopped
- 1 ½ cups bulgur wheat
- 1 ¾ cups chicken stock
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbled (optional)
- ½ cup chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F˚.
- Pat dry chicken thighs on all sides with paper towels. Drizzle them with olive oil.
- Mix together cumin, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl until fully mixed.
- Sprinkle chicken on all sides using the spice mixture.
- Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat until it is shimmering hot.
- Add the now-seasoned thighs and sear for about 4 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned. We are not cooking the meat fully here, but rather just browning it. Transfer onto a plate and set aside.
- Add the onion and pepper to the now-empty skillet and cook, scraping the chicken bits at the bottom using a wooden spoon for about 7-8 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for one minute.
- Add in the bulgur wheat and cook, constantly stirring, for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the stock and transfer the seared chicken back into the skillet. Bring it to a boil.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes or until a digital thermometer inserted in one of the thighs registers 165 F˚.
- Carefully remove from the oven and sprinkle with feta cheese (if using) and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
