We’re sweet (and sour) on sumac. The dried red berries deliver distinctively tart notes to this dish of juicy seared chicken breasts, also seasoned with herbs and lemon zest. You’ll serve them beside a non-traditional tabbouleh salad. It’s bulked up with bulgur and sautéed cauliflower ‘rice’ that also provides a serving of veg. Leave the rest of the job to tomato and baby greens—plus a fabulous roasted red pepper dressing.

Preparation
Cook the chicken
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Pat the chicken* dry with paper towel; season with ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and keep warm.
Sauté the cauliflower rice
Meanwhile, in a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the cauliflower rice, ½ the remaining spices and S&P. Sauté, 8 to 10 min., until softened. Transfer to a plate and set aside to cool slightly.
Cook the bulgur
Meanwhile, in a medium pot, combine the bulgur, ¾ cup water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 6 to 8 min., until the bulgur is tender and the water has been absorbed. Fluff and keep warm.
Make the dressing
In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, roasted red pepper spread, 4 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P.
Make the tabbouleh
Roughly chop the baby greens. Medium-dice the tomato. To the pot of bulgur, add the cauliflower rice, tomato, baby greens, ⅔ of the dressing and S&P; toss well.
Plate your dish
Divide the chicken (slice beforehand if desired) and tabbouleh between your plates. Drizzle the chicken with the remaining dressing. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
