One part sheet-pan dinner, one part grain bowl—this quick dinner is modeled after the robustly flavorful Aleppo pepper–seasoned roast chicken at Callie in San Diego. Here, yogurt works double duty in the recipe, acting as a coating for Aleppo pepper–seasoned chicken thighs and a drizzle-able sauce for the final bowl. Broccolini roasts alongside the chicken on a single sheet pan, while thinly sliced red onions pickle and a cup of hearty bulgur steams on the stove.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Whisk ¼ cup sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar and 1 tsp. honey in a small bowl to combine. Add 1 small red onion, thinly sliced, and stir to coat. Let sit, tossing occasionally, until ready to serve.
Step 2
Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 400°. Arrange 1 large bunch broccolini on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, and toss to coat. Scoot to one side of baking sheet.
Step 3
Mix together 1 tsp. ground cumin, 1 tsp. smoked paprika, ¼ cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, 2 Tbsp. Aleppo-style pepper, 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, and 2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt in a large bowl; season generously with black pepper. Add 1½ lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 6 medium), patted dry, and turn to coat. Transfer to empty side of baking sheet. Roast until broccolini is tender and chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thighs should register 165°), 20–30 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in 1 cup bulgur and a pinch of salt. Remove from heat; cover. Let sit until tender, about 10 minutes. Fluff with a spoon.
Step 5
Place remaining ½ cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt in a small bowl, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Transfer chicken and broccolini to a cutting board; slice chicken and coarsely chop broccolini. Tip any juices from baking sheet into bulgur, then drizzle in a little onion pickling liquid and stir to combine. Divide among bowls and top with broccolini, chicken, and drained pickled onion. Drizzle yogurt mixture over and sprinkle with more Aleppo-style pepper.
