“A TASTE OF LUXURY, SERVED CASUALLY”

Chicken Kofta Lavash Wraps

Its the New Year! Of course the first recipe of the year needs to be somewhat healthy! I LOVE Kofta, Gyros, Lola Kabobs, and more but usually the traditional ones involve beef and/or lamb. While delicious chicken breast is much more protein dense and their for more health efficient! This chicken kofta wrap comes in a whole wheat lavash with hummus, harissa, pickled onions, and for a real burst of flavor a tahini slaw! Enjoy with some water or my favorite some hot mint tea!

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 Degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  2. In a large bowl combine chicken, dill, parsley, garlic, onion, spices, and olive oil and combine until well mixed. 
  3. Use your hands to form 12 egg shaped patties and place them on the baking sheet. 
  4. Place kofta in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. If you like a little char you can remove them at 12 and place them under the broiler for the remaining 3 minutes. 
  5. While the kofta bake, prepare the slaw. In a large bowl combine all tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, spices, salt & pepper and whisk until emulsified. Add shredded cabbage and toss well to coat cabbage in dressing. 
  6. Once chicken kofta have a beautiful brown char remove them from the oven.
  7. To assemble, take one lavash and spread your desired amount of hummus and harissa. Add some slaw, pickled onions, and 2 of the kofta all on the bottom of the lavash length wise. Slowly roll, tucking in the sides as you go, and cut in half.
  8. Serve with a cucumber salad or some fries and enjoy.

Notes: I make quick pickle onions myself which are super easy, but if you don’t want to you can easily buy some at the store in the pickle aisle.
