Smoked Chicken Pita
Of course, the traditional bread of one small country of the mountains (although at least several other peoples claim to be the first in the invention of this product) won the world culinary community with its authentic taste and aroma. The thin and elastic delicious cake is so versatile that it was not only used as food as bread in its original appearance, but also used as the basis for cooking many other dishes. By the way, in Armenia, local cheeses “dwell” as a filling most often in lavash. But the filling is meat, vegetable, from cottage cheese. All this may depend on the traditions in a particular family. And the most simple to prepare and also tasty, suitable for any occasion, were rolls of pita bread and fillings. Both adults and kids loved them, they are optimal in cold and hot form. They can be served on a luxurious festive table, and give a person on the road. In general, such versatile dishes. And among them, pita with smoked chicken occupies a prominent, honorable place.
