Tips:

For a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the chicken broth and use vegetable broth instead.

To make this dish ahead of time, cook the bulgur and lentils according to package directions and then let them cool completely. Store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
