Recipe for making lavash roll with chicken and cottage cheese in the oven

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Wash the chicken fillet, dry it from excess moisture with paper napkins, remove fat and films, and cut it into medium-sized pieces. Transfer the meat to a blender bowl and grind into homogeneous mince.

2. Transfer the minced chicken into a deep bowl. Peel the onions, cut into small cubes, and add to the minced chicken.

6. Mix the filling thoroughly, achieving a uniform consistency.

7. Cut the pita bread into 3 rectangular sheets of the same size, mine are 32 by 26 cm. Divide the finished filling into 3 equal parts. Grease the lavash sheet with 1/3 of the prepared filling.

8. Repeat the same steps with the remaining two sheets of pita bread. Place the sheets of pita bread with filling on top of each other, as in the photo.

9. Carefully roll the workpiece into a tight roll. Transfer the roll to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Beat the remaining chicken egg with a fork until the white and yolk combine. Brush the roll with beaten egg and decorate with sesame seeds.

10. Place the snack roll in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 40-45 minutes. When the product is browned, carefully remove it from the oven.

11. Let the finished dish cool slightly. Cut the lavash roll with chicken and cottage cheese into portioned pieces and serve. The roll is very tasty both hot and chilled.
