Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make bulgur with chicken and vegetables in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients. To prepare this dish, it is better to use coarse-grained bulgur. How to buy bulgur correctly? Be sure to inspect the packaging. It must be intact, without damage or signs of moisture. If the package is transparent, inspect the contents. The grains should be clean, free of impurities, bright yellow and crumbly.

Rinse the bulgur well. Place the cereal in a saucepan, pour in 400 ml of filtered hot water. Add a pinch of salt and simmer for about 15 minutes after boiling, until the cereal has absorbed all the liquid and is soft. If the liquid has evaporated and the bulgur is not yet cooked, add a little boiling water. It’s even better to pour pre-cooked chicken or vegetable broth over the cereal. For flavor, you can add 2-3 peeled cloves of garlic.
