Bulgur with chicken in a frying pan - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Quinoa, couscous, or brown rice work well. Adjust cooking times accordingly—quinoa cooks in ~15 mins, while brown rice may need 30-40 mins.
Replace chicken with tofu or chickpeas. Sauté tofu until golden, or add rinsed canned chickpeas when you’d normally add chicken.
Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat with a splash of water to prevent dryness.
Yes, but bulgur may soften slightly. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stove.
Try a crisp salad, roasted veggies, or warm pita bread. A dollop of yogurt or hummus adds creaminess.
Swap half the bulgur for riced cauliflower or double the veggies (like zucchini). Sauté cauliflower with the other ingredients.
Likely needed more liquid or time. Add 1/4 cup hot water, cover, and simmer 5-10 mins longer until tender.
