Method

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the thighs with the oil, oregano, half the lemon juice and the crushed garlic and spread them on a half sheet pan.
  2. Roast 20-22 minutes, until browned at the edges and they read 165°F (74°C). Add the green beans to the tray for the last 8 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile pour the just-boiled broth over the bulgur (fine or medium grind), cover and leave 15 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the grains are tender.
  4. Rest the chicken 5 minutes, slice it, and fold the pan juices, the rest of the lemon and the parsley through the bulgur. Serve the chicken and beans on top and crumble the feta over.
Chef’s tipPour every spoonful of the tray juices over the bulgur; that is the lemon, garlic and chicken fat the whole dish is built on.
KeepKeeps 3 days chilled. Freezes 3 months once sliced. Cover and warm in a 325°F (160°C) oven; the microwave dries it out.
SwapNo bulgur? Couscous or brown rice, warmed the same way.
