Instructions

  1. Make the Yogurt Marinade

    In a mixing bowl combine Greek yogurt, salt, chicken spice blend, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth.

    Time: PT10M

  2. Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for another 5 minutes while you prep the vegetables.

    Time: PT35M

  3. Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice potatoes into ½‑inch rounds, cut onion in half, slice tomato, cucumber, and pickles, shred cabbage, and mince the garlic clove.

    Time: PT15M

  4. Assemble Skewers

    Insert two sushi sticks into each half‑onion (or potato slice). Thread marinated chicken pieces onto the sticks, ending with a tomato slice on top.

    Time: PT10M

  5. Bake the Chicken Skewers

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the skewers on a baking sheet and bake until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C, about 20‑25 minutes.

    Time: PT25M

    Temperature: 200°C

  6. Prepare the White Sauce

    In a small bowl mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chopped dill, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and the pickle brine. Stir until smooth.

    Time: PT5M

  7. Build the Lavash Wrap

    Lay a lavash sheet on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the white sauce, then add shredded cabbage, cucumber slices, pickled cucumber slices, and tomato. Place the baked chicken pieces on top, sprinkle shredded cheese, and drizzle a little ketchup.

    Time: PT10M

  8. Roll and Pan‑Fry

    Roll the lavash tightly into a log. Heat a dry frying pan over medium heat (≈180°C). Place the roll seam‑side down and cook 2‑3 minutes per side until the outside is golden and the cheese melts.

    Time: PT5M

  9. Serve

    Slice the roll diagonally and serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.

    Time: PT0M
