Chicken Gyro Bulgur Bowls
with Hummus, Tomato Cucumber Salad & Feta Sauce
- Milk
- Sesame
- Wheat
Hummus and pita chips go together like… well, hummus and pita chips! And while they may be a great pairing, we firmly believe that hummus is destined for bigger and better things. Case in point: this delicious, layered bowl. It starts with a base of creamy hummus and chewy bulgur, then it’s piled with za’atar-spiced chicken, lemony chopped salad, tangy feta sauce, and a sprinkle of fresh dill. This mix of vibrant, crunchy, creamy, and savory components is sure to satisfy. Beat that, chips!

Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Halve and peel shallot; thinly slice one half and mince remaining. Fill a small bowl with cold water; add sliced shallot and soak. (TIP: This helps mellow its sharp bite.) Dice tomato. Trim and dice cucumber. Zest and quarter lemon. Pick and finely chop fronds from dill.
• Drain sliced shallot, discarding liquid; place in a medium bowl. Toss with tomato, cucumber, juice from half the lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, and 1 TBSP chopped dill (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add minced shallot; cook until softened, 1-2 minutes. • Add bulgur, 1 cup water, stock concentrate, ½ tsp harissa powder (we sent more—use the rest as you like), and ½ tsp salt (for 4 servings, use 2 cups water, 1 tsp harissa, and 1 tsp salt). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until water has absorbed and bulgur is tender, 12-15 minutes. • Turn off heat; keep covered until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with ½ tsp Za’atar Spice (1 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (Be sure to measure the Za’atar Spice—we sent more.) • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. TIP: Work in batches if necessary. • Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Once cool enough to handle, thinly slice crosswise.
• While chicken cooks, in a second small bowl, combine sour cream, half the feta (all for 4 servings), and lemon zest to taste; mash together with a fork. (TIP: If the feta is cold, massage in package first to soften.) Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. (It’s OK if the sauce isn’t completely smooth.)
• Drain any excess liquid from bulgur; fluff with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste. • Spread hummus on one side of each serving bowl. Serve bulgur next to hummus; top with chicken. Top hummus with salad (draining first). Drizzle everything with feta sauce. Garnish with remaining chopped dill if desired. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
This meal was great. Simple to prepare and layers of yummy flavors. I used all the spice on the chicken and added more harissa to the bulgur wheat. The hummus was a nice addition. And the feta dressing topped everything off perfectly. We would definitely order this meal again.
It was very tasty! I wish we had received more hummus because there wasn't a lot there to split between two people, but regardless a very tasty and light meal! We added some pita bread to go with the meal. This was our first time having bulgur and it was really good! Surprisingly sweet and a wonderful compliment to the other ingredients. The feta was a nice added touch as well!
This was really tasty. I quick pickled and then drained the shallot meant for the salad, and added a little tomato paste to the bulgur, as well as used the other half of the lemon in the feta sauce. Turned out good! Btw: the cucumber you sent for this was sad and old. I replaced it with a fresh one, but please don't make a habit of this. It was shoddy.
This was good - according to personal taste, I left the shallots out of the salad and added only 1/4 teaspoon of harissa to the bulgur. You might suggest to cooks to start with 1/4 t. of harissa and add more to taste--I like spicy food, but I find HF's harissa a little overpowering if very much is used. Love the bulgur recipes and will keep looking for these. I did feel like this could have used a slice of pita for scooping!
Delicious! Fairly easy. Our feta sauce turned out a little runny but it could've been user error. It didn't take away from the taste. Cucumber tomato salad was very refreshing! Loved the fresh dill. Alright that's all haha
PHENOMENAL! Such fantastic deep flavors--only caution- DO NOT overuse the Harrisa spice--it is FIERY---I made 4 servings fo the bulgur and used an 1/8th of a tsp--pefect deep flavor with just a tiny bit of heat. The feta sauce makes it!
The harissa didn't seem to add a ton of flavor to the bulgar as I had expected. The za'atar flavoring on the chicken was awesome. And the feta sauce was excellent. My husband even wanted to finish the salad! I will likely choose this again.
Really loved this bowl. The Feta sauce was so easy and really delicious. Loved all of the seasonings. Will try to make this on my own or just order it again!
A few things: - Amount of hummus felt a little low for sharing between two people. - Also, felt like the chicken could have been spiced better-needed more flavor. - putting feta in the dressing made it cumbersome to make and harder to pour/eat. Would prefer a simple tzatziki sauce anyway.
This meal was so flavorful! The spices, the salad, the bulgur, just delicious. Definitely not enough hummus. When you are packing meals for two include enough sauces for two. Each person should have gotten one of those tiny hummuses.
