Just spread the chickpeas, then heap on the chicken, breaking it up so it has that shredded chicken consistancy, and then top with some big spoonfuls of the chutney. Mash them up with the back of a spoon to a nice soft consistancy - these are the 'refried beans' of the burrito. Remove chicken from the pan with tongs, letting any liquid drip off so it doesn't make the burrito soggy.ĭrain off the liquid and put Chickpeas and carrots and garlic cloves in a bowl. Once chicken is done and chickpeas and carrots are soft, remove from heat. Also, about half way through, kind of mash down the chicken and let it break up a bit so its will be like shredded chicken in the burrito. Keep and eye on it, about half way through you will probably need to add the remainder of the broth. Make sure the broth doesn't cover the chicken (so it won't wash off the browned spices on the top).Ĭover and reduce heat to low and let simmer for about an hour. Add about one cup of the broth, along with the Chickpeas and chopped carrot. After a minute or two, flip the chicken and let the other side brown for just a minute. Also, put the cloves of garlic in the oil as well. Once the pan and oil is nice and hot, put the thighs spice-side down in the oil to b rown the tops. Next, heat the oil in a deep saute or casserole pan on high or med-high heat. Let stand for a couple of hours in the fridge. Put in a bowl and drizzle with Worcestershire sauce and Olive oil to help coat the thighs in the spice along with the cloves of garlic.

A lot of these other ingredients (the bread and chutney, for example), if not at your regular grocery store you go to, can be found at places like Trader Joes and Whole Foods.Ĥ Organic Chicken thighs (local and free range of ckily around here that is easy to find) There probably isn't a place in the world that doesn't have an Indian or middle eastern market of some sort around - you can buy bags of these spices for cheaper there (like the ones pictured) and they usually are way better. You get get both spices at any grocery store - but they can often be way overpriced. If you have never played with things like curry powder or garam masala before, this is a great way to do it. Burritos! And, I have to say.they turned out amazing. This, along with a long unopened jar of Chutney ('Indian Relish from Trader Joes), sparked an idea. So, I had a package lavash bread from Trader Joe's sitting in my pantry needing to be used before it became hard.
