Burum with Chicken
Description
It works both for a holiday and for everyday meals. Chicken burum is not exactly a simple dish. To start, we’ll cook adjika from peppers, onions, carrots, tomatoes, and garlic. This adjika will come in handy not only for this dish but also as a sauce for other meat dishes. We’ll also prepare a creamy garlic sauce based on matsoni and sour cream. We’ll marinate the chicken in a piquant marinade, then fry it. And we’ll assemble the burum itself: spread lavash with adjika, then lay out fresh tomatoes, onions, and pickled cucumbers, add the fried chicken. Pour everything with the creamy sauce and wrap it in lavash. A wonderful appetizer or a full dish on the table is ready! You can take it with you outdoors, or simply have it as a snack—it’s very tasty. Serve with fresh herbs and sauce.
