Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    Prepare the products for cooking shawarma. Choose pita bread thin and not dry, so that it does not break when wrapping. Instead of legs, you can take any part of the chicken, but with legs, the shawarma turns out to be especially juicy. I have ready-made carrots, you can cook them yourself according to your favorite recipe. Instead of white cabbage, Peking cabbage is suitable. Cucumber can be taken not fresh, but pickled. Use any spices according to your taste.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Cook the chicken first. You can do this in absolutely any way - fry, put out, bake. You can use the remaining grilled chicken. Shawarma is a great option for uneaten chicken parts. I'm baking chicken in the oven. To do this, fold the chicken into a baking dish, season with salt and pepper. I took red and black pepper. Pour a small amount of vegetable oil. Mix the chicken well. Bake it in the oven at t200 ° C for 40 minutes.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce. To do this, simply mix the mayonnaise and ketchup until smooth. Instead of mayonnaise, you can take sour cream. Then add garlic to the sauce. To reduce the calorie content of the dish, use natural yogurt as a sauce. Add salt, spices and garlic to taste.

    Finely chop the cabbage. If you use white cabbage, then lightly remember it with your hands so that it becomes soft.

    Wash cucumber and tomato well, dry and cut into thin slices.

  6. Step 6:

    Remove the skin from the legs, cut off the meat. Finely chop the meat with a knife.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Turn the pita bread with the short side towards you. Spread the sauce in the center, stepping back from the edges. Lay out a layer of cabbage.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Put cucumber slices on the cabbage, tomatoes on them. If you cook shawarma in winter, then you can not put a tomato. If you like onions, put them before, slicing them into thin half rings. We don't like onions, so we don't put them in.

  10. Step 10:

    Bending the edges of the pita bread to the center, wrap the filling in the form of a roll.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13.

    Preheat the grill pan. Put a shawarma on it.

  14. Step 14:

    Step 14.

    Fry the shawarma on both sides until golden stripes. If you have an ordinary frying pan, then to a slight ruddiness.

I cook shawarma often, I vary only vegetables, depending on the season. I use breast more often. With it, the shawarma turns out to be drier, so I add another layer of sauce. I liked the legs much more - the meat is juicier and softer.

Chicken can be replaced with turkey or any other type of meat at your request. But keep in mind that in this case, the cooking time and calorie content of the dish will change.

The skin, if it is not rough, not damaged and not bitter, does not need to be cut off.

How to choose the right pita bread? First of all, look at the date of manufacture on the package. Do not take expired pastries. Fresh pita bread should have a pleasant smell. Take a good look so that there are no stains and signs of mold on it.
