Grilled Lemon Chicken with Tabbouleh

GOOD TO KNOW Because they contain more fat than leaner breast meat, chicken thighs are good candidates for grilling: They stay tender and juicy after cooking.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

3/4 cup water
1/2 cup medium-grain bulgur
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 English cucumber, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 large tomato, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for grill
1 garlic clove, minced
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 2 pounds total)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat grill (or grill pan) to high. In a small saucepan, bring the water to a simmer. Add bulgur, season with salt and pepper, and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 10 minutes; fluff with a fork. In a medium bowl, combine bulgur, parsley, cucumber, tomato, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon oil; toss tabbouleh to combine.

    Step 2

    In a small bowl, stir garlic with remaining 1 tablespoon each lemon juice and oil; season with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Clean and lightly oil hot grates. Season chicken with salt and pepper; grill until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Brush chicken with lemon mixture and serve with tabbouleh.
