Instructions:
-
Prepare the bulgur:
In a saucepan, heat olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until soft. Add bulgur and stir for 1-2 minutes. Pour in water or chicken broth, add salt, bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 12-15 minutes until the bulgur absorbs the liquid and is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside. -
Prepare the chicken crust:
In a shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. -
Coat the chicken:
Lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, then dip into beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. -
Cook the chicken:
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Alternatively, bake in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes until crispy and cooked. -
Serve:
Plate the crispy chicken alongside the bulgur. Garnish with fresh parsley or mint if desired.
