Instructions

Cut the chicken breast into 2 cm cubes and season with salt and black pepper. Heat the butter and olive oil in a wide pot, then sauté the chicken over high heat for 6 to 7 minutes.
7 min07:00 - 2
Add the finely chopped onion and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes, until lightly pink.
4 min04:00 - 3
Add the crushed garlic and tomato paste, then fry for 1 minute to open up the aroma of the paste.
1 min01:00 - 4
Add the bulgur and toast for 2 minutes, turning it so the grains shine.
2 min02:00 - 5
Add the cooked chickpeas, 3 cups hot water, and salt, then cook over low heat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
15 min15:00 - 6

💡 Tip: If you add water before toasting the bulgur with the tomato paste for 2 minutes, the pilaf turns mushy; that toasting step is the secret to separate grains. If you have not cooked chickpeas ahead of time, drain canned chickpeas and add them in the last 5 minutes.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with plain yogurt or shepherd's salad, and scatter dried mint on top.
