CHICKEN TABOULI (TABBOULEH)



Chicken Tabouli (Tabbouleh) image

You will love this! It's the perfect recipe for a luncheon. Also a good make-ahead recipe for the week. Since I like keeping the seeds in the tomatoes and cukes, I just make the salad without them, then dice them fresh and mix them in each time I serve it. You may want to seed them if you throw it all together at once. I got this from a friend, but I think it came from cooking light or southern living. Serve with bread/butter.

MOROCCAN-SPICED CHICKEN WITH MILLET TABBOULEH



Moroccan-Spiced Chicken with Millet Tabbouleh image

I'’m mixing metaphors a bit with this dish: —a little Moroccan inspired, a little Middle-Eastern inspired. But the thing is, the flavors taste delicious together. This twist on classic tabbouleh is wonderful paired with grilled seafood, meat, or tempeh, and it'’s great on its own too!

Categories     HarperCollins     HarperCollins     Dinner     Chicken     Grains     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Quick & Easy

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the chicken:
2 cups coconut yogurt, plain
Juice of 1 lemon
Zest of 1 lemon
Zest of 1 orange
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
4 pasture-raised chicken thighs
For the tabbouleh:
2 cups cooked millet
1/2 cup minced parsley
1/2 cup minced mint
1/4 cup minced dill
1 teaspoon iodized sea salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken: In a large ziplock bag, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, orange zest, and spices. Add the chicken, and marinate for at least 1 hour. (If using tempeh, use the same marinade, but for 30 minutes.)
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a broiler pan or a sheet tray with wire rack by spraying with oil. Set aside.
  • Make the tabbouleh: Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, and stir well. Let the flavors meld for at least 20 minutes (which is perfect, since you need that time to cook the chicken).
  • Remove chicken (or tempeh) from marinade, pat dry with paper towels, and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. If your chicken has skin, place it skin-side down.
  • Bake the chicken for 20 to 25 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, skin side up, until meat has reached 160°F and skin is crisp. Remove from heat, and let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup fine cracked wheat (bulgur)
1 cup water
1 1/2 cups finely minced Italian flat-leaf parsley
2/3 cup finely minced fresh mint
1/4 cup finely chopped scallions
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 large tomato, peeled, seeded, chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup lemon juice or more to taste
1 teaspoon salt, if desired
Leaves of crisp romaine lettuce for serving

Steps:

  • Place cracked wheat in a bowl and cover with water. Set aside for approximately 30 minutes until wheat has swelled and softened. Drain wheat, squeezing it in your hands to expel as much water as possible.
  • Place the wheat in a large salad bowl. Add parsley and mint and mix well. Add scallions, onions and tomatoes, using a wooden spoon or your hands to press the vegetables slightly so that they give up their flavors.
  • Add olive oil, lemon juice and salt, if desired. Taste, and add more lemon juice if necessary. The lemon taste should be definite but not overpowering. Set aside, covered, in a cool place for an hour or so until ready to serve.
  • Serve the tabbouleh on a tray lined with crisp romaine lettuce leaves. Diners should use the leaves to scoop up the tabbouleh.

CHICKEN WITH TABBOULEH (BAREFOOT CONTESSA) INA GARTEN



Chicken With Tabbouleh (Barefoot Contessa) Ina Garten image

You can use a previously roasted chicken for this healthy salad. I reduced the amount of salt from original recipe. It is best after sitting in the fridge for 24 hours. Edit: If you use regular table Iodized salt instead of the kosher salt, please use much less as table salt creates a saltier final product.
