We add the washed bulgur to the toasted vermicelli.

We add the boiled chickpeas to the pot.

We add the chicken boiling water to the pot.

We cover the pot and leave it on high heat until the bulgur starts absorbing the liquid.

In another pot, we place parchment paper at the bottom.

We drizzle a little oil over the parchment paper.

We place the boiled chicken at the bottom of the pot over the oil.
