INSTRUCTIONS

1
First, prepare a large sealable container and a tall container for blending.
2
Place canned tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of honey, pepper, cumin, oregano, thyme, capers, garlic, chili, and tomato paste into the blending container and blend everything until smooth using an immersion blender.
3
Then prepare the chicken breasts: Clean them, lightly pound them with a meat mallet, place them into the prepared sealable container, and pour the prepared marinade over them. Massage the marinade into the meat with your hands, close the container, place it in the refrigerator, and let the meat marinate for at least 2 hours.
4
Meanwhile, prepare the bulgur salad: Cook the bulgur according to the instructions on the package, and after cooking, drain and cool it with cold water. Then prepare a large bowl. Add cherry tomatoes, cucumber, onion, bulgur, olives, lemon zest and juice, salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon of honey, and apple cider vinegar, and mix everything.
5
If you are making this salad in advance, cover it with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator.
6
Once the chicken is marinated, heat up the grill. Then place the chicken breasts on it and grill them intensely for 6–7 minutes on each side. Afterward, move the meat to the cooler edge of the grill, where the heat is less intense, and finish cooking for 4–5 minutes.
7
Finally, remove the prepared salad from the refrigerator, add parsley and mint, and serve with the grilled meat.
