Cooking Steps
Pour the water for the bulgur (see pantry for amount) into a large saucepan, stir in half the chicken stock paste and bring to the boil.
Stir in the bulgur, bring back up to the boil and simmer for 1 min.
Pop a lid on the pan and remove from the heat. Leave to the side for 12-15 mins or until ready to serve.
Meanwhile, trim the green beans, then cut into thirds.
Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 1cm chunks.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the diced chicken, green beans and pepper chunks. Season with salt and pepper.
Fry until the veg has softened and the chicken is golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Add the garlic, tomato puree and roasted spice and herb blend to the chicken pan. Cook, stirring, for 30 secs.
Stir in the remaining chicken stock paste and sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) until combined.
Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down to medium and simmer until thickened slightly, 3-4 mins.
Meanwhile, zest and halve the lemon.
When the bulgur is cooked, stir through the lemon zest and a squeeze of juice. Reheat if needed.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the chicken. Taste and season with more lemon juice, salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.
Share the zesty bulgur between your bowls.
Top with the saucy chicken and tuck in.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The spiced tomato chicken and zesty bulgur deliver a well-rounded, satisfying flavour; some find the dish a little mild or bland and would welcome more heat.
- Ease of prep: This is a quick and straightforward cook that many found easy to put together, even on a weeknight.
- Suggestions: Use only lemon zest or juice in the bulgur, not both, to avoid an overly sharp citrus flavour. If the spice blend feels too strong, use a little less; adding extra chilli or spice is an easy way to boost heat for those who prefer it.
- Next-day meals: The bulgur wheat is filling and satisfying on its own; some felt the overall portion could be more generous, particularly for hungrier appetites.
- Water quantity: Take care to measure the water for the bulgur precisely, as too much can leave it watery rather than light and fluffy.
