Directions

Prep 15 minCook 40 min
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly oil a small baking dish.

  2. 2

    Warm the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, garlic, and ginger; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon and garam masala and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    In a saucepan, cover the bulgur and raisins with water by about 1 inch, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well.

  4. 4

    Combine the drained bulgur and raisins with the onion-spice mixture. Stir in the cilantro and almonds; season to taste with salt and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Slice each chicken breast horizontally to butterfly it open like a book. Divide the bulgur filling among the breasts, fold closed, and place snugly in the prepared baking dish, seam side up.

  6. 6

    Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the thickest part reaches 165°F, about 25 minutes. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
