Looking for a flavorful meal that’s healthy, filling, and full of spice? This bulgur with chicken skewers, caramelized onion, and grilled eggplant has it all. The nutty bulgur is seasoned with ras el hanout, the chicken is marinated in warm spices with a kick of sambal, and the sweet caramelized onions tie everything together beautifully.

What makes this dish so great is the balance: tender grilled chicken, smoky eggplant, fluffy bulgur, and fresh veggies on the side like cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and crisp lettuce. It’s a colorful plate that works perfectly for a family dinner, meal prep, or even a summer BBQ.
