Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- 2 tbsp Turkish Spice Blend
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 medium red onion sliced thin
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup bulgur wheat
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 lb spinach leaves
- 8 oz cherry tomatoes mixed
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1/3 cup feta cheese
- parsley optional for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Season both sides of the chicken with Turkish Spice Blend and saute in deep ovenproof skillet with one tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook for 3 minutes per side and golden brown. Set aside (chicken will finish cooking when baked).
- Add remaining olive oil to skillet and saute the red onion and garlic until golden and wilted, about 5 minutes.
- Add the bulgar and oregano to skillet, stir to mix, cook for 2 minutes. Add the spinach and tomatoes, stirring to mix thoroughly, and cook another 2 minutes. Spinach should have wilted and tomatoes start to break down.
- Add the chicken stock and stir. Nestle the chicken on top of the bulgar spinach mixture and press down gently.
- Cover with lid and transfer skillet to oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Check to be sure chicken internal temp should be 165°F.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with feta cheese and parsley. Serve immediately.
