Bulgur with chicken in a slow cooker - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can easily substitute the chicken with other proteins like beef, shrimp, or even tofu for a vegetarian option. Just ensure it's cooked through before adding other ingredients and adjust cooking time if needed for food safety.
If you don't have bulgur, quinoa, couscous, or even rice can work as substitutes. Keep in mind that cooking times may vary slightly, so adjust the liquid and check for doneness towards the end of the cooking time.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat thoroughly in a microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to prevent drying out.
Absolutely! Omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of water for more flavor. Add more vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or peas. You might want to add a bit more fat, like olive oil, to replace the richness from the chicken.
Yes, this dish freezes well. Let it cool completely, then transfer to a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. Reheat on the stovetop or in a microwave, adding a splash of water to loosen it up as the bulgur will absorb more liquid when reheated.
Absolutely! Add red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, or a diced fresh chili pepper (like a jalapeño or serrano) along with the other vegetables. You can also add hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne to the cooking liquid.
This dish is quite hearty on its own, but a simple side salad with a light vinaigrette can provide a nice contrast. You could also serve it with a dollop of plain yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for freshness.
Yes, you can double the ingredients. Just make sure your slow cooker or multicooker is large enough to hold everything comfortably without overflowing. You might need to increase the cooking time slightly, by about 10-15 minutes, to ensure everything is cooked through.
