How to Make Chicken Bulgur Skillet

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cook until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside to keep warm.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet. Add 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 medium onion (chopped), ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, and 1 teaspoon cumin. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion softens and begins to brown.
  3. Stir in 1 cup bulgur.
  4. Gradually add 2 cups chicken broth, stirring constantly.
  5. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  6. Reduce heat to low, stir in ½ cup raisins or dried cranberries, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and the cooked chicken.
  7. Cover the skillet and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the bulgur is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
