Indian Chicken

Troy and I are trying to eat healthy and lose weight which means A LOT of chicken meals which can get really boring. I made this chicken last night and I thought about making a pizza for the kids because I wasn't sure how they would like this seasoning. It turns out I didn't need to make the pizza and I should have made more chicken. They were fighting over it. I even caught one of them sneaking bites of Troy's chicken when he set his plate down. I had to promise to make it for them again tonight. I always make Taboule when I make this chicken.

I have so many lemons that I try to make whatever I can with them. So in a little mason jar I added olive oil, a pinch of salt, lemon peels and a garlic glove. I read that you should use the oil within a week and that it should be kept in the fridge thus the small mason jar. In a ziplock bag add 4 chicken breasts,1 tbs olive oil, and spices.  Close bag and shake to coat. I let my chicken in the bag for at least 30 minutes.

While chicken is marinading boil 2 cups of water. When water boils add 2 cups bulgar wheat (winco has this in the  bulk section). Cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 20 minutes.

When bulgar wheat is cool add 2 tbs olive oil, juice of a lime, salt, green onion, cilantro, parsley and tomato. Traditional taboule has mint in it but I prefer cilantro. I added avocado to mine last night and it was delicious!! This is a cold "salad" and can be made beforehand.

In a non-stick pan cook chicken breasts on medium heat for 9 minutes on each side or until no longer pink in the middle

Grocery Tip: If you make the taboule you will need cilantro, tomato and limes the same ingredients as in Chicken Tostadas  so plan to make that sometime this week as well.
