This was a nice healthy side dish and a good alternative to rice. I used chicken broth. It does make a lot!

So good! I made this with chicken broth and I skipped the onion or my one boy wouldn't have eaten it! We had the tabbouleh with stuffed chicken breasts and we all really enjoyed it. I have a lot of leftovers so we will be enjoying this for a couple of days more! :) Made for Went to the Market tag game. Thanks Ck2plz! :)
