For cooking, you will need the following ingredients: a pound of minced chicken, 1 onion, 4 tablespoons of tomato paste, 100 milliliters of cream, oregano, pepper, basil, salt. For the sauce you need: 50 grams of butter, 2 tablespoons of table flour, 300 milliliters of milk, 400 grams of cream cheese, 4 small pita breads (the usual one, that is, it can be big, but it is usually worse in quality).
Fry peeled and finely chopped onions in vegetable oil, and then add minced chicken and fry for another 7 minutes. Add salt, pepper, tomato paste and simmer for 5 minutes, then pour the cream and stew the same amount and remove from the stove.
Melt the butter in another pan, fry the flour in it for 2 minutes and pour the milk in a thin stream, while adding salt and pepper. Cook only a couple of minutes and then remove from heat so that a crust does not form on the milk.
Rub the cheese on the smallest grater. Squeeze the sauce from the minced meat with onions and divide into 3 equal parts.
Take a baking dish and coat its bottom with 2 tablespoons of white sauce from another pan (to make delicious lavash lasagna, the recipe recommends using it). We lay pita bread, on it 1 part of the sauce, and sprinkle with cheese on top; then - pita bread, on it - as much white sauce and cheese; lavash - minced meat and cheese on it; pita - sauce with cheese on it; pita bread - minced meat and cheese on it. To the very top, drop the last sheet of pita bread, pour over the sauce and cover with the remaining cheese. Oven for half an hour at a temperature of 200 degrees.
