Method

  1. Rub the chicken with half the oil and the za'atar and cook in a hot pan over medium-high heat, 5-6 minutes a side, until it reads 74°C (165°F) at the thickest point. Rest 5 minutes, then slice.
  2. Toss the bulgur with the rest of the oil and half the lemon juice.
  3. Stir the remaining lemon into the yogurt, and poach the eggs in barely trembling water 3 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks still runny.
  4. Toss the bulgur with the tomatoes and cucumber, lay the chicken over, spoon the yogurt on, set a poached egg in each bowl and scatter the parsley over.
Chef’s tipRub the za'atar on with the oil, not dry; dry herbs on dry meat burn before the chicken is cooked.
KeepKeeps 3 days chilled, 2 months frozen. Warm covered with a spoon of water; yogurt in its own pot.
SwapNo za'atar? Dried oregano, thyme and sesame seeds in equal parts.
Pack itYogurt in a separate pot. Dressed bulgur travels; dressed leaves do not.
