One-Pan Chicken Shawarma Salad with Bulgur

This one-pan chicken shawarma salad cooks bulgur in the same pan as the spiced chicken for maximum flavor, then finishes with a fresh chopped salad and tahini sauce.

Why This Recipe Works

Mayonnaise helps the spices cling to the chicken for deep browning. Bulgur absorbs the pan juices, and the tahini sauce brings creamy balance.

Ingredients Overview

Sumac and baharat give warm, tangy spice, while bulgur makes it hearty. Tomatoes, cucumber, and onion keep it fresh and crisp.

How to Make It

Sear the chicken, steam the bulgur in stock in the same pan, then assemble with salad and tahini sauce. Serve immediately.

Tips and Storage

Store bulgur, chicken, and salad separately for best texture. The tahini sauce thickens in the fridge, so loosen with water before serving.
