Preparation
Start the chicken
Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ⅓ 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, 3 to 4 min. per side, until partially cooked. Transfer to a cutting board, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, zest and quarter the lemon. Medium-dice the zucchini.
Sauté the vegetables
Small-dice the carrots. In the reserved pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the carrots, onions, zucchini and ½ the remaining spices. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and lemon zest (start with ½). Sauté, scraping up any browned bits, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
Make the skillet & finish the chicken
To the pan of vegetables, add the bulgur and 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Toast, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant. Add the chicken, demi-glace, juice of ½ the lemon wedges, 1 cup water (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, covered, 5 to 7 min., until the chicken* is cooked through and the bulgur is tender.
Plate your dish
Divide the skillet (slice the chicken beforehand if desired) between your plates. Garnish with the juice from the remaining lemon wedges. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
