Ingrediënten
If you have time, let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours (or even overnight). This helps the spices and flavors penetrate the chicken and makes it more tender.
If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes. This prevents them from burning while cooking.
Sauté the dry bulgur for 1-2 minutes before adding the water.
After cooking, let the bulgur sit, covered, for 10-15 minutes. This ensures the grains separate nicely.
You can add zucchini, mushrooms, small carrot cubes, or other vegetables you like.
A sauce made from Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt complements the dish beautifully and balances the spicy flavors.
A bit of fresh parsley and a slice of lemon adds a refreshing touch to the dish.

Stappenplan
1 Wash the chicken thighs and cut them into cubes. Place the chicken cubes in a deep bowl and add salt, cayenne powder, red bell pepper powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, chopped parsley, sambal oelek, and olive oil. Mix well. |
2 Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers and set aside. |
3 Heat the olive oil and butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the bulgur, along with the cayenne powder, garlic powder, cumin powder, and turmeric powder. Crumble the chicken stock cube over it and mix well. Pour in the boiled water and stir well. Turn up the heat and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat and cover the pan. Let the bulgur simmer for 12-15 minutes until all the moisture is absorbed. |
4 Heat a frying pan over medium heat and cook the chicken skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Turn them regularly to ensure they cook evenly. |
5 Serve the warm bulgur with the chicken skewers. |
