Instructions
- Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat.
- While the pot heats, peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Peel, then slice shallot into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- When the pot is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pot until melted.
- Add shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened slightly, 2-3 min.
- Add half the garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
- Add 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Meanwhile, drain and rinse chickpeas, then pat dry with paper towels.
- Add chickpeas, Turkish Spice Blend and 2 tbsp oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with pepper and 1/4 tsp salt, then toss to coat. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, use 2 baking sheets, with 2 tbsp oil and 1/4 tsp salt per sheet.)
- Roast chickpeas in the top of the oven, stirring halfway through, until golden-brown, 22-25 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, roast in the middle and top of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
- Stir bulgur and raisins into the boiling water, then return to a boil.
- Remove from heat. Cover and let stand until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed, 15-17 min.

- Transfer bulgur to a large bowl, then toss a few times. Set aside.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
