This recipe has an odd combination of sweet and savory spices but it works to produce a dish with a very delicate flavor. In my opinon, you are going to get a lot more than 6 servings. The bulgur makes it very filling.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will give you plenty of room to cook the chicken and vegetables without overcrowding them. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Cook the chicken in batches: If you're using a lot of chicken, you may need to cook it in batches. This will help prevent the chicken from overcrowding the skillet and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked vegetables will lose their鮮豔色彩, texture, and nutrients.
  • Season to taste: Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to your liking.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's cooked. The chicken and vegetables will be at their best when they're hot and fresh.
