## Ingredients

### Chicken and vegetables

- 2 chicken breasts (500 g), or any cut you prefer
- 10 small onions
- 2 carrots, cut into large pieces
- 2 potatoes, cut into large pieces
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas, plus 1 cup of their liquid if available
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp mixed spices
- 1 tsp turmeric
- Aromatics: 3 bay leaves, 4 cardamom pods, 2 cinnamon sticks, 2 cloves
- 2 tbsp olive oil

### Bulgur

- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups coarse bulgur
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- About 2 1/2 cups boiling water
- 1 chicken or beef stock cube

## Method

1. Toss the chicken pieces in the oil with the aromatics and spices, add the onions and stir, then the potatoes and carrots, then 1.5 liters boiling water and simmer 30 to 45 minutes until everything is cooked.
2. Strain the broth, return only the vegetables, pull the chicken into large or medium pieces by hand or fork and add to the broth with the chickpeas and their liquid. Bring to a boil once and serve hot alongside the bulgur. Large chicken pieces can also be browned and set over the bulgur with the sauce on the side.
3. Bulgur: wash without soaking. In a pot over medium heat add the oil and onion and stir, then the bulgur for 2 to 3 minutes, then the chicken broth or stock cube with water and the spices. Cover and simmer about 20 minutes until cooked and fluffy. Rice with vermicelli works as a substitute.
