Balkan Chicken Bulgur Pilaf | Diabetic-Friendly Leftover Chicken Dish
Leftover boiled chicken pieces from the day before are simmered with toasted bulgur in chicken stock, making a simple, filling bulgur pilaf typical of Balkan home kitchens. Bulgur's lower glycemic index makes this pilaf a diabetes-friendly choice.
Step by Step
How to make it?
2
Toast the Bulgur
5 minAdd the bulgur and toast for 5 minutes, stirring, until the grains turn glossy.
3
Add the Chicken and Stock
5 minAdd the leftover cooked chicken, hot chicken stock, salt and black pepper, then bring to the boil.
4
Simmer
15 minCover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, until all the liquid is absorbed.
5
Let It Rest
5 minTake off the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes, then fluff and serve.
Reminder
Wait for the bulgur grains to turn glossy while toasting; this step keeps them from clumping together once cooked. Allergens: contains milk and dairy (butter).
Editor's Note Editörün Notu
If you have no leftover chicken, poach and shred a fresh breast instead; this adds about 15 extra minutes of poaching time.

Bulguru kavururken tarifte yazan 5 dakikayı geçtim, yaklaşık 8 dakika kavurunca birkaç tane yanıp acılaştı. Pilavın geri kalanı yine de güzel oldu ama o yanık tat biraz rahatsız etti.

Bulgur kavurma süresi ocağın gücüne göre değişebilir; 5 dakika ortalama bir süre, sizin ocağınızda daha kısa tutmanız gerekebilir. Taneler altın sarısına döner dönmez ateşi kısmanızı öneririm.
