Prepare food. I used a lavash roll, it’s big and 1 piece was enough for me; if you take Armenian lavash, it’s better to take 2 pieces.
I decided to stuff the chicken with couscous and dry mushrooms, but the filling is optional; you can bake unstuffed chicken in pita bread. To prepare the chicken filling, pour boiling water over the couscous and leave to swell for 5-10 minutes.
Rinse the chicken under water and dry paper towel. The chicken can be marinated in any way and with any spices you prefer. I rubbed the chicken with salt, chicken seasoning, garlic passed through a press, and poured lemon juice over it.
After 5-10 minutes, the couscous will steam and the water will be completely absorbed into the cereal.
Transfer the couscous to a plate and fluff with a fork. Add salt and spices to taste and dry mushrooms to the steamed couscous (I previously washed the mushrooms with water).
Mix the couscous with mushrooms, salt, spices and the filling for stuffing the chicken is ready.
Stuff the chicken with couscous and mushrooms.
Prick the neck and abdomen with toothpicks.
Place the chicken on a sheet of pita bread. Wrap the pita bread over the chicken on both sides, and then completely wrap the carcass in the pita bread.
Place the chicken, well wrapped in pita bread, in a heat-resistant form (or on a baking sheet).
Cover the pan with chicken in pita bread on top with foil and place in a preheated oven.
Bake the chicken in pita bread in a preheated oven for 1 hour at 250 degrees, then remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes until the pita bread is browned.
Remove the pan from the oven, carefully cut the pita bread and unfold it around the edges. The dish is ready, cut the chicken into pieces and serve. Both the whole baked chicken and the lavash turn out incredibly tasty, try it!
Bon appetit!
Have you tried hot lavash rolls baked in the oven? These recipes are not as popular as classic snack cold rolls, and for good reason. The baked lavash roll turns out to be very interesting in taste and beautiful, with a ruddy, appetizing crust.
To be honest, I recently discovered this recipe myself and was pleasantly surprised by how it turned out in the end. I saw a recipe for a lavash roll in the oven somewhere on the Internet, and I liked the idea itself. But the filling in that version was not to my taste.
Therefore, when I got ready to cook, I improvised a little. And I got a lavash roll in the oven with chicken, egg and vegetables. I won't be modest, it turned out great! So now this oven-baked lavash stuffed with chicken is one of my family’s favorites.
My husband, for example, often asks me to cook it for work: for lunch, he just needs to heat the roll in the microwave, and he’s done. And for breakfast or dinner, a hot lavash roll in the oven is perfect. Well, was I convincing? Then I invite you to the kitchen - to cook!
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet of thin pita bread;
- 2 tbsp. l. mayonnaise;
- 1 small onion;
- 1 small carrot;
- 100 g chicken fillet;
- 1 egg;
- salt, black pepper to taste;
- vegetable oil;
- 1 yolk.
How to cook a pita roll in the oven with chicken:
We will need thin pita bread, the approximate sheet size of which is 20 by 40 cm. Please note that it is best for pita bread rolls with chicken in the oven (as, indeed, for other pita bread rolls) to take rectangular pita bread, not round or oval. Lavash with rounded edges is more difficult to roll into a neat roll.
Grease a sheet of lavash with 1 tbsp. mayonnaise (preferably homemade).
Let's prepare the filling for the roll. Cut the onion into half rings and grate the carrots on a coarse grater. First sauté the onion half rings in vegetable oil over low heat, and then, when they become transparent, add the carrots to them and cook the whole place, stirring, over low heat for 5-7 minutes.
Boil the chicken fillet until tender, cut into small cubes. Boil the egg hard, cool, peel and also cut into cubes.
Combine the ingredients for the filling: onions with carrots, chicken fillet, egg. Add the remaining mayonnaise and mix. If necessary, add salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the filling evenly on a sheet of lavash.
Roll the pita bread into a tight roll.
And place the roll in a baking dish, greased with a small amount of vegetable oil. If your shape, like mine, is not too large, then you can cut the roll into 2-3 parts.
Beat the yolk and brush the top of the roll with it.
I wanted to cook something unusual and tasty from chicken, and besides, I had thin Armenian lavash on hand. I came across this recipe and didn’t even expect that it would turn out so delicious!
I've cooked chicken in pita bread twice already. It differs from traditional baked chicken in that it is cooked immediately with sauce. This sauce and chicken juices soak the pita bread and make the bottom layer soft with a delicate chicken flavor. They turn out very juicy, and your hand reaches out for the next one!
Ingredients:
- 5 chicken thighs,
- 2 sheets of thin pita bread,
- 200 g sour cream (kefir),
- 2 cloves of garlic,
- 1 tomato
- 1 small or half a large red or yellow bell pepper,
- salt,
- spices,
- nutmeg.
Cooking process:
In the photo recipe I used chicken thighs, although you can use the whole chicken by dividing it into portions.
Make the sauce: chop the tomato, pepper and garlic; Grind it all in a blender into puree.
Add salt, nutmeg, vegetable puree, and sour cream to the chicken. Stir and leave for 30 minutes. marinate.
Place the first sheet of pita bread in a deep baking dish. To do this, you first need to fold it in half and then place it in the mold. A second sheet of pita bread is placed on top in the same way. First, pieces of chicken are laid out on the pita bread, and the sauce in which the chicken was marinated is poured on top. The ends of the pita bread are folded towards the center of the mold, this is similar to the formation open pie.
The first time I cooked chicken in pita bread, then I immediately sent the dish to bake in the oven for 1 hour. The second time, I already moistened the ends of the pita bread with water using a brush. The fact is that the pita bread begins to dry out greatly and as a result the top of the pie turns out to be burnt.
Therefore, I wet the pita bread well with water and do this procedure 5 times (as the top layer of the pita bread dries) while baking the chicken in the pita bread. The second time this should be done 10 minutes after the chicken has been put in the oven.
If you also pursue the goal of achieving beautiful appearance baked chicken in pita bread, then increase the baking time by another 10 minutes. Then it turns out that you will need to bake the chicken for 1 hour 10 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. If you don’t have time to look into the oven often or you missed this moment, you’ll just have to remove the burnt edge.
Discover new taste flavorful chicken with crispy lavash!
The finished dish is divided like a pie. Each piece has a bottom layer of dough soaked in sauce and chicken juices. Each piece is served on its own pita bread.

Cooking and filling options
I talked more about rolls, but I would like to mention another worthy option for preparing chicken in pita bread - whole chicken in pita bread, baked in the oven. You need to take a small young chicken, weighing up to one and a half kg, and marinate in soy sauce or sour cream.
Stuff the chicken with tomato, cheese and garlic. Place foil on a baking sheet and place two pita breads crosswise on top. They need to be lubricated with vegetable oil. Place the marinated chicken in the center and wrap it in lavash sheets.
Cover the top with foil and bake in the oven at 180°C for an hour and a half. The result is a magical chicken that can be served as a main course. The bottom of the lavash will be saturated with juices and become soft; on top it will turn into a chip that crunches so deliciously. The inside of the chicken is aromatic, soft and tender. As you already understand, chicken in pita bread is a very creative dish.
By experimenting with the combination of boiled or fried chicken, cheeses, mushrooms, different vegetables, herbs and spices, you can invent your own amazing taste.

- 2 sheets of thin pita bread;
- chicken or carcass parts - 0.9-1 kg;
- 100 g hard cheese;
- 130-150 ml milk;
- 2 tbsp each mayonnaise and ketchup;
- a mixture of peppers, spices and salt to taste.
How to cook chicken in pita bread
To begin, cut the chicken into portions. I always remove the skin, which is what I advise you to do. To make it easier to eat, you can remove the bones from the chicken so that only the pulp remains.
Place the pieces in a deep bowl, then add ketchup and mayonnaise to the cup, sprinkle with spices and add salt.
Stir the meat until all pieces are in the sauce. The longer you marinate the meat, the softer it will be. If you are cooking on a quick fix, and you don’t have time to wait, then leave the chicken in the marinade for at least 10-20 minutes.
Dip thin Armenian lavash in milk. To do this, pour the milk into a bowl and place the pita bread in it for 1-2 minutes. Make sure that the sheets do not get too wet from the milk, otherwise they will tear.
Then take a baking dish and place the pita sheets overlapping the sides. We will place the marinated chicken inside the pita bread, and then wrap the meat. Place the chicken pieces in a baking dish and pour the remaining sauce over the top of the chicken.
Using a medium grater, grate the cheese and sprinkle it thickly over the chicken. Level the cheese layer so that it is even. Don't take too much soft cheese, it will melt quickly. Discard the remaining milk.
Cover the chicken with pita bread and secure a sheet of foil on top of the pan. The foil will retain the juices inside the envelope, so the meat will be tender.
Heat the oven to 180 degrees, place the pan on its middle tier and bake the dish for 30-40 minutes. To make the pita bread nicely browned, remove the foil and leave the pan in the oven for another 5-7 minutes.
When you serve the chicken in pita bread, sprinkle some herbs on top. For a side dish, make a light vegetable salad of tomatoes and cucumbers. Bon appetit!
