Instructions

1

Bring a steamer basket over a pot of water to a boil. Season the chicken thighs with salt and Aleppo pepper. Steam for 15-18 minutes until the chicken is opaque throughout and tender.

2

Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by whisking together the tahini, lemon juice, a splash of water, and the honey until creamy and emulsified.

3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked white beans, cooked bulgur, halved grape tomatoes, diced cucumber, and minced shallots.

4

Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 3 minutes, then shred it into bite-sized pieces and fold it into the salad.

5

Drizzle the tahini-lemon dressing over the mixture, tossing gently to coat. Season with extra Aleppo pepper and a pinch of za'atar for depth.

6

Serve in a shallow bowl, ensuring the aromatics are evenly distributed, and garnish with an extra sprinkle of sumac.
