Method
Cube the chicken2 into 1-inch pieces, finely dice the onion5, chop the dill6, and grate the cheese (reserve half); preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet with oil, cook the chicken2 and onion5 over medium heat for 8 minutes until fully done (no pink inside), season with half the salt; let cool 5 minutes.
Cut each lavash sheet into 4 rectangles; place filling along one edge, roll tightly, and seam-side down into a 20×30 cm baking dish.
Whisk together the sour4 cream, egg, and remaining salt; pour over the rolls, then sprinkle with the reserved cheese.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes until the cheese melts and edges brown.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving with fresh herbs.
Tips
- Why it works
- Salt the chicken before cooking to draw out moisture and ensure even seasoning; unsalted chicken stays bland and rubbery. Cut chicken into 1 cm cubes so it cooks through in 8 minutes without drying out.
- Substitutions
- Use feta instead of hard cheese for a tangier taste; replace dill with parsley if you prefer a milder flavor. Skip sour cream and use Greek yogurt for a lighter texture.
- Common mistakes
- Overcooking the chicken makes it dry and tough; check by cutting into a piece. It should be opaque and juicy, not gray or stringy.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat fresh or within 2 days; reheat in a 180 °C oven for 10 minutes until warm through. Freezing isn’t recommended. Cheese gets grainy.
- Serve with
- Pair with a simple cucumber-tomato salad for a balanced meal. Great for family dinners when you need a filling, hands-off dish.
