Servings: persons

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

1
Preheat the oven to 500u00b0. 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.
5
Make Ahead: The salad can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours.
6
Wine Recommendation: A ripe, oaky Australian Chardonnay, such as the 2001 Lindemans Padthaway or the 2000 Rosemount Show Reserve, will blend the sweet, tangy and assertive flavors in this salad.
