This one-pot pilaf browns chicken thighs first, then simmers bulgur right in the same pot so it soaks up all that savory flavor along with warm cumin and a whisper of cinnamon. A scattering of toasted almonds and parsley at the end adds crunch and freshness.

This recipe is tagged for PCOS-friendly eating: bulgur is a whole grain that brings fiber alongside the chicken's protein, and the dish is seasoned with warm spices rather than added sugar. It's an easy, hearty dinner that reheats well for lunch the next day.
