Ingredients: | 2/3 cup bulgur 2/3 cup boiling water 4 1/2 tablespoons olive oil 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 small red onion, chopped 1 1/3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper 1 tomato, seeded and chopped 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds and ribs removed, minced 1/2 cup chopped cilantro (optional) 4 tablespoons lime juice 1/4 teaspoon cayenne |
Directions: | In a medium bowl, combine the bulgur and the water. Cover and let sit for 20 minutes. In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil over moderate heat. Add the corn and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the onion and continue cooking for 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a large glass or stainless-steel bowl and let cool. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the frying pan and heat over moderate heat. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the black pepper. Cook the breasts until browned and just done, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes. Cut crosswise into 1/4- inch slices. Add the bulgur, tomato, jalapeno, cilantro, 3 tablespoons of the lime juice, the cayenne, and 3/4 teaspoon of the salt to the bowl with the corn and onion. Toss. In a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 tablespoons oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mound the salad onto plates. Top with the chicken and drizzle the chicken with the lime oil. |
