INSTRUCTIONS
- 1First, prepare a larger sealable container and a tall container for mixing.
- 2Place canned tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of honey, pepper, cumin, oregano, thyme, capers, garlic, chilli, and tomato paste into the mixing container and blend everything with a hand blender until smooth.
- 3Then prepare the chicken breasts: Clean them, lightly pound them with a meat mallet, place them in 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 fridge, and let the meat marinate for at least 2 hours.
- 4In the meantime, prepare the bulgur salad: Cook the bulgur according to the instructions on the package, then drain and cool it with cold water. Next, prepare a larger 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 together.
- 5If you are making this salad in advance, cover it with cling film and place it in the fridge.
- 6Once the chicken is marinated, heat up the grill. Then place the chicken breasts on it and grill them quickly for 6–7 minutes on each side. Then move the meat to the edge of the grill, where the heat is not intense, and finish cooking for 4–5 minutes.
- 7Finally, take the prepared salad out of the fridge, add parsley and mint, and serve together with the grilled meat.
