Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups bulgur wheat medium grain
  • 1 pound chicken breast boneless and skinless
  • 2 cups chicken broth low sodium
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Vegetables
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 medium bell pepper diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup spinach fresh, chopped
For Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons parsley fresh, chopped

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic, cumin, and paprika to the skillet. Stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  5. Once cooked, stir in the chopped spinach and cover for an additional 2 minutes until wilted.
  6. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing the bulgur with a fork.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
