Preparation
Cook the chicken
Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Cook the bulgur
Meanwhile, in a medium pot, combine the bulgur, 1 ½ cups water, the remaining spices 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 salad
Meanwhile, separate the lettuce leaves; tear the leaves. Core and thinly slice the pears lengthwise. In a large bowl, combine the vinaigrette and 1 tbsp oil. Add the lettuce, pears, salad topper and S&P; toss well.
Dress the bulgur
Crumble the cheese and add to the pot of bulgur; stir well.
Plate your dish
Divide the bulgur between your plates. Top with the chicken and salad. Bon appétit!
