ingredients
- 1 cup Bulgar wheat
- salt and pepper
- 1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 red onion, 1/2 finely chopped and 1/2 quartered
- 1⁄2 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
- 1⁄4 cup fresh oregano leaves
- 2 teaspoons chopped oregano leaves
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1⁄3 cup sesame tahini
- 8 chicken breasts, cutlets
- 1⁄2 cup flour

directions
- In a large saucepan, bring 3 cups water, the bulgur and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil; lower the heat, cover and simmer until tender, 10 to 12 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Toss with 3 tablespoons olive oil, the finely chopped onion, parsley, chopped oregano and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Using a food processor, pulse the onion quarters, oregano leaves, lemon peel, tahini and 1/2 teaspoon salt. With the machine on, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and process until smooth; transfer to a medium bowl. Add the chicken and toss.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, sesame seeds and 1/4 teaspoon salt. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat. Working in batches, and using the remaining olive oil as needed, coat the chicken cutlets in the sesame flour. Add to the pan and fry, turning once or twice, until golden-brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve with the tabbouleh.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a mom to 2 boys, ages 11 and 6. My youngest is a cancer survivor, so we enjoy each day given to us! You never know what can happen in your life! I have been in the loan business for over 10 years and I love it. Unfortunately, this economy has put a wrench into my awesome career. After a couple layoffs, I decided I need to do something else for awhile. I am now selling advertising, and it's different! I am thankful to have a job, so can't complain much! I love to cook. I can spend a whole Sunday in the kitchen just cooking away. I love trying new recipes (my boyfriend hates it. Lol. He likes what he likes and would be fine never trying anything new.) I never bake. I think it's because I don't measure. I am a throw-in-the-ingredients until they taste good kind of girl. I LOVE this site(actually, I am addicted to it) and am enjoying finding new things to make everyday!
