Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

• 6 chicken breast fillets, with skin on
• 3 tablespoons Belazu Rose Harissa
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
• ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 40g pine nuts
• 375g bulgur wheat
• 600ml chicken stock, hot
• 40g currants
• Good handful chopped fresh parsley

Method

1. Cut 3 slashes into each breast. Put in a bowl with harissa and half the oil. Turn to coat, then set aside.
2. Heat the remaining oil in a large, deep pan with a tight-fitting lid over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or so until soft. Add the ginger, spices and pine nuts. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring until the nuts are golden.
3. Meanwhile, put a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes each side, until golden. Set aside, covered with foil to keep hot.
4. Meanwhile, stir the bulgur wheat into the onion mixture. Remove from the heat after 30 seconds and add the hot stock and currants. Cover and set aside for 10-12 minutes or until the stock has been absorbed-the bulgur wheat will still have a good bite to it. Stir in most of the parsley and some seasoning. Fluff up with a fork.
5. Divide the pilaf between six plates, top with the chicken and scatter with the remaining parsley to serve.
