Ingredients

3 Lemons, plus extra to serve

20g Fresh Rosemary

2 Garlic Cloves

3 tbsp Olive Oil, plus extra to serve

650g Asda Boneless Chicken Thigh Fillets

200g Bulgur Wheat

440g Cherry Tomatoes

25g Fresh Flat-leaf Parsley

30g Fresh Mint

½ Cucumber

1 Bunch Spring Onions

2 Wholemeal Pittas

1 Avocado, sliced

100g Houmous

75g Mixed Olives

Pickled Chillies, to serve

Method

1
Using a vegetable peeler, remove strips of peel from 2 of the lemons and add to a bowl along with their juice and the stripped leaves from a bunch of rosemary. Peel and crush the garlic cloves and add to the mixture, along with a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add 2 tbsp olive oil, mix for a second and then add the chicken, stirring until everything is well mixed. Cover and set aside in the fridge to marinate for at least an hour, or ideally overnight.
2
Cook the bulgur wheat according to packet instructions. Halve the tomatoes and finely the chop parsley, mint leaves, cucumber and spring onions and add everything to a bowl. Add the cooked bulgur wheat and dress with the zest and juice of the third lemon, along with salt, pepper and 1 tbsp olive oil.
3
Place a frying pan over a high heat and, after draining a little, add the marinated chicken to the pan. Cook for 5–6 mins on either side, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
4
To serve, get a big board and spread out the bulgur wheat salad to form a base. Top with slices of the chargrilled chicken and serve with toasted pitta, sliced avocado, houmous, olives, pickled chillies and lots of fresh lemon for squeezing over it all.
