• Make-Ahead

Ingredients

1. 1 cup bulgur
2. 1 cup boiling water
3. Two 6-ounce boneless chicken breasts, with skin
4. 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
5. Salt and freshly ground pepper
6. 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
7. 1/2 cup chopped basil leaves
8. 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
9. 2 large scallions, thinly sliced
10. 2 Hass avocados, cut into 1-inch chunks
11. 1 medium fennel bulb (3/4 pound), cored and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
12. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 500°. In a heatproof bowl, cover the bulgur with the boiling water. Cover the bowl with a plate and let stand until the water has been absorbed and the bulgur is tender, about 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, on a rimmed baking sheet, coat the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken on the top shelf for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and just cooked through; let cool. Slice the breasts on the diagonal about 1/4 inch thick.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the orange juice with the basil, lemon juice, scallions and the remaining 1/4 cup of grapeseed oil; season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
4. In a large bowl, toss the bulgur, chicken, avocados, fennel and tomatoes with the vinaigrette; season with salt and pepper. Mound the salad onto plates and serve.

Make Ahead

The salad can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours.
