Home-style shawarma with chicken (the recipe will be discussed below) is much tastier than a similar product, which is sold in kiosks and fast-food cafes. In addition, such a hand-made dish is much safer, since it is prepared only from proven ingredients.

- thin Armenian pita bread (sold in stores) - 3-4 pcs.;
- chilled chicken breasts - 700 g;
- hot Korean carrots (sold in stores) - 200 g;
- lettuce - 8 pcs.;
- hard cheese - 165 g;
- medium pickled cucumbers - 3-4 pcs.;

- sour cream 30% - 1 jar or 180 g;
- small fresh garlic - 4 cloves;
- medium fat mayonnaise - 200 g;

Filling process
Homemade shawarma with chicken, the recipe of which is surprisingly simple, is not necessarily made from self-cooked pita bread. After all, such a thin flour ingredient can be easily purchased at the store. But in order to prepare the filling for this dish, you should make every effort.
First you need to wash the chicken fillet, put it in boiling salt water and boil until soft. After this, the meat should be cooled, and then separate it from the bones and skin, chopped into small pieces.
Lavash shawarma with chicken provides for the use of vegetables such as Korean cabbage and pickled cucumbers. These ingredients must be cut into thin and long slices (you can use a carrot grater). You also need to rinse the lettuce leaves and grate hard cheese.
Sauce making process
Before making chicken shawarma , you should definitely make a fragrant sauce. To do this, in a large bowl, mix 30% sour cream, medium-fat mayonnaise, grated garlic, as well as paprika and curry.
Dish formation
To design such an oriental product, you should take a thin Armenian pita bread and put it on a flat table. Next, on top (in the middle) of the flour product, the following ingredients must be laid out alternately: lettuce, chicken, Korean cabbage, spicy carrots, pickled cucumbers and grated cheese. After this, the filling must be abundantly doused with garlic sauce, and then tightly wrap the pita bread in an envelope.
Heat treatment
To give a quick oriental dish a finished look, it is recommended to fry it a little in a pan (from 2 sides). At the same time, it is undesirable to lubricate hot dishes with oil. Fully prepared shawarma should be placed on a flat dish, and fresh greens should be beautifully laid on the sides.
How to serve to the table
Home-style shawarma with chicken, the recipe of which we examined in this article, is served to family members only in a warm state. Also, it is recommended to present a sweet drink in the form of tea or a cocktail and a bowl filled with garlic sauce to such a hearty and delicious oriental dish that was previously placed inside the product.
