• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Scallions (sliced, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2

In the crock pot, add the bulgur, carrots, red bell pepper, and onion to form the base layer.

In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Pour the liquid mixture over the bulgur and vegetables in the crock pot.

Step 5

Place the seared chicken thighs on top of the mixture.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked, and the bulgur has absorbed the liquid.

Step 7

Once cooked, fluff the bulgur with a fork and mix the vegetables gently if desired.

Step 8

Serve the ginger chicken and bulgur in bowls, garnished with sliced scallions.
