Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup medium bulgur*
  • 1 boned, skinned chicken breast half (about 1 lb.), pounded until 1/2 in. thick
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika, divided
  • 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup halved and sliced English cucumber
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives
  • 2 cups pita chips
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Method

  • Put bulgur in a large bowl. Cover with 1 cup boiling water and let soak until water is absorbed, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Heat grill to high (450° to 550°). Brush chicken with 1 tbsp. oil and sprinkle on both sides with half the salt, pepper, and paprika. Grill, turning once, until cooked through, about 5 minutes; set aside.
  • Add remaining oil, salt, pepper, and paprika, plus all other ingredients except feta, to bowl of bulgur and toss to combine.
  • Slice chicken. Divide salad among 4 plates and top with chicken and feta.
  • *Bulgur--steamed crushed wheat--comes in three sizes. We like the texture of medium, but you can use another size; just adjust the soak time accordingly.
