There is a terrible bug that has broken loose at school, we are falling like flies. I should have a voided the nurses office at all costs, but nooooo I had to stop by for just a minute, then bam, down for the count. Days and days…..the horror was real.

After laying in bed, then the couch for 4 days, yes four days, binge watching Netflix I needed a recipe and fast!!

When I first began my “real” cooking, I started getting Gourmet, Food and Wine and all the other fancy cooking magazine……yes pre-internet. I would scour them for hours looking for just the right thing to make. I didn’t care how involved or if I had to drive 50 miles for the ingredients.

These days, and especially after being on the couch for so long, I needed a super easy, quick recipe, I wasn’t quite ready to totally give up the couch just yet. I took a look at Food and Wine and found Indian Pulled Chicken Sandwich. It looked and sounded really good, and best of all, it was super easy.

A rotisserie chicken, and a few other ingredients and I was good to go. Our local Kroger has organic rotisserie chicken, and they are wonderful.

Shred the chicken, add scallions, and cilantro. Thats easy right?

Then a sauce from yogurt, jarred mango chutney, lime juice, and curry. Easy too!

I tweaked the recipe a bit, I used a few more scallions, and Naan (Indian flatbread) instead of a bun.I also used half of the sauce to dress the chicken and the other half for dipping. The original recipe called for pouring all the sauce on the chicken. I liked the idea of having extra on the side.
