Grilled Lemon Chicken With Tabbouleh Recipes

GREEK LEMON GRILLED CHICKEN WITH CAULIFLOWER TABBOULEH

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together all of the marinade ingredients for the chicken. Place the chicken breasts and marinade in a freezer bag, press out the air and seal it. Massage the marinade into the chicken and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
• While the chicken marinates make the tabbouleh. Pulse the parsley and mint together in a food processor until finely chopped. You can also do this with a knife if you prefer. In a large bowl combine the cauliflower rice, parsley and mint, cucumber, tomatoes, green onion, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Toss everything together until combined and taste for seasoning. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400° F. Spray the grates with oil and place the chicken breasts on. Grill for approximately 5-7 minutes then flip them over and grill another 5-7 minutes. Time will vary depending on the size of your chicken breasts. The internal temperature will be 165° F. when they are cooked through. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it.
• To serve, fill bowls with the cauliflower tabbouleh and top them with slices of the grilled chicken.

CHICKEN WITH TABBOULEH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a heat-proof bowl, pour the boiling water over the bulgur wheat. Add the lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. Stir. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the bulgur to stand at room temperature for about 1 hour.
• Place the chicken breast on a baking sheet and rub it with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until just cooked. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Remove the chicken meat from the bones and discard the skin. Cut the chicken into medium dice and add to the tabbouleh. Add the scallions, mint, parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Season, to taste, and serve immediately or cover and refrigerate. The flavors will improve as it sits.

MOROCCAN-SPICED CHICKEN WITH MILLET TABBOULEH

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.
