Add the Parmesan and pulse until a thicker consistency is reached. Cover and chill until needed.
3.
Place the bulgur wheat in a slow cooker and cover with boiling water. Add the red pepper and seasoning and stir once. Cover with a lid and cook on a low setting for 1 hour.
4.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan) | 375F | gas 5.
5.
Fluff the bulgur with a fork after 1 hour and stir through 1 tbsp of the pesto. Turn the slow cooker off and keep the bulgur covered with a lid.
6.
Coat the chicken breasts in the oil and season well. Arrange on a baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes until firm yet springy to the touch.
