Instructions

  • Kebab sauce: Mix all ingredients in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Chicken kebab: Cube the chicken and mix with garlic, kebab seasoning and sambal oelek. Leave to stand while you prepare the accompaniments.
  • Accompaniments: Slice the cucumber, onion and tomatoes. Cut the lettuce into smaller pieces.
  • Fry the chicken in a very hot pan in a little rapeseed oil, until cooked through. This will give the meat a bit of that trademark smoky/grilled kebab flavour.
  • Fill the pita with the salad, kebab sauce, chicken, vegetables and friggitello.
Enjoy!

Chicken kebab – a homemade street food alternative

There are few things as satisfying as a pillowy pita filled with juicy and succulent chicken, crunchy veggies and a creamy sauce to bring it all together. Originally from the Middle East, your skewer can include anything from meat to fish or vegetables that are grilled to perfection.

Switch up your kebabs with chicken

Chicken is a great alternative to the traditional lamb variety. Quicker from grill (or stove) to table, you’ll be adding these to your top 10 favourite meals in no time.

Chicken kebab as a packed lunch with rice or bulgur wheat

Forego the pita pocket for a deconstructed version with bulgur wheat. It works great as a packed lunch and the veggies can easily be transformed into a crunchy side salad. Top it off with the kebab sauce and you’ll be the envy of the office.

Store your kebab like this

Leftovers are best stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Remember to keep the meat separate from the sauce and vegetables.
