Orange Chicken Tabbouleh Recipe

  • 1 1/2 cups boiling water
  • 3/4 cup bulgur
  • 2 oranges
  • 1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken or turkey
  • 2 cups chopped seeded cucumber
  • 2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh mint
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or salad oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • romaine lettuce leaves
  1. In a medium mixing bowl pour boiling water over bulgur. Let stand 30 minutes. Drain off excess liquid.

  3. In a large mixing bowl stir together drained bulgur, orange peel, orange juice, chicken, cucumber, parsley, green onion, mint, oil, and salt.
  4. Cover and chill 4 to 24 hours, stirring occasionally.
  5. Just before serving, fold in orange sections. Serve on lettuce-lined plates.
