Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Prepare the necessary ingredients. To prepare this dish, it is better to use coarse-grained bulgur. Any parts of the chicken can be used. I took chicken fillet, but thighs, wings, and drumsticks will do.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the carrots well, peel and coarsely grate. Peel the onions. Rinse it and the knife under cold water so that when cutting, the onion juice does not irritate the mucous membranes of the eyes so much. Finely chop the onion into cubes.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the chopped onions and carrots into the multicooker bowl. Turn on the Fry mode for 15 minutes. Fry for about 5 minutes, stirring.

Step 4

Step 4
Rinse the meat, pat dry with paper towels and chop finely.

Step 5

Step 5
Add the chicken to the vegetables and continue to fry for another 10 minutes until the meat turns white.

Step 6

Step 6
Add some salt. Add bay leaf and tomato paste. You can add your favorite seasonings to taste, for example, paprika, curry, dried garlic (1 teaspoon each). Or use ready-made spices for chicken or pilaf. In this case, look at the composition. If there is salt, take this into account when salting the dish, otherwise you will over-salt it.

Step 7

Step 7
Add dry bulgur. There is no need to rinse it, since the cereal is cleaned during its production.

Step 8

Step 8
Pour two glasses of hot water. It is better to use high-quality filtered or bottled water rather than tap water, which will negatively affect the taste of the dish. 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. Turn on the Pilaf mode for 40 minutes or the Stew mode for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Step 9
After 40 minutes, turn off. Bulgur is ready. Stir and serve.

Step 10

Step 10
This is how tasty and crumbly the bulgur turned out. Bon appetit! Serve the dish with pickled or fresh vegetables.
