Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
Bulgur and Vegetables
  • 1 cup bulgur wheat
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cucchiaino garlic powder
  • 1 cucchiaino paprika
  • 1 cucchiaino salt
  • 0.5 cucchiaino black pepper
  • 0.5 cup diced bell pepper
  • 0.5 cup diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the cubed chicken, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until chicken is well coated.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  3. Place the seasoned chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, rinse the bulgur wheat under cold water. In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the bulgur, diced bell pepper, and onion. Stir, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
  5. After the chicken has cooked for 10 minutes, add it back to the bowl with the bulgur mixture and toss to combine.
  6. Return the bulgur and chicken mixture to the air fryer basket. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F) and the bulgur is fluffy.
  7. Remove from the air fryer and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the spices and olive oil for 30 minutes before cooking. Serve with a side salad for a complete meal.
