Lavash with chicken is a very unusual appetizer that is hearty, fresh and spicy at the same time. Radishes are pre-soaked in a spicy marinade, chicken - in a spicy one. All this eye-catching “luxury” is slightly muffled by a delicate creamy sauce, and the result is a very harmonious dish, ideal for lunch or a leisurely weekend breakfast. An excellent addition to pita bread with chicken can be juicy arrows of young garlic or tender elastic green onion feathers, which delight us so much in the spring in the country.

How to cook Lavash with chicken

Step 1

Prepare chicken for appetizers on pita bread. In a bowl, mix 3 tbsp. vegetable oil, lime juice, finely chopped garlic, paprika, salt, sugar, cumin, black and cayenne pepper. Trim the fat from the breast fillet. Put the meat in a bowl and stir. Leave to marinate at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.

Step 2

Cut the radish for pita bread with chicken into thin slices and mix with the rest of the ingredients. Leave at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Cut the onion into thin half rings, chop the garlic. Clean the canned peppers and cut into strips.

Step 4

Prepare sauce for pita bread with chicken. Heat vegetable oil over high heat. Saute the onion until golden brown, 3 minutes. Add garlic, thyme and oregano, sauté 15 seconds. Add the cream and stir until the cream coats the onion. Cook, stirring, 1-2 minutes. Add pepper, lime juice, salt and pepper, stir and transfer to a bowl.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 95°C. Place a rack in the bottom of the oven. Remove the chicken from the marinade, remove any leftovers. Heat the remaining oil in a skillet (oven-safe) over high heat. Add fillets and cook, untouched, for about 4 minutes on one side. The fillet will cook well. Flip the fillet and immediately transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 7-10 minutes or until the temperature at the thickest part of the fillet reaches 71-73 C. Transfer the fillet to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes. Don't wash the pan!

Step 6

Cut pita bread into squares, sprinkle with water from a spray bottle and put in the oven for 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Slice the chicken across the grain into 5-6mm slices. Return to the pan and stir in the juices that have formed during the cooking process.

Step 8

Lubricate pita bread with sauce, put chicken on the sauce, sprinkle with pickled radish, crumbled cheese and chopped cilantro.
