Chicken Gyros and Mini-Pita-Naans

Incredibly tender chicken with a soft bun, that we are not sure if it is closer to a pita or a naan bread.

Ingredients

​

For the Pita-Naan


1 batch of of our Pita-Wrap doug https://www.diealteseilerei.com/recipes-1/Pita-Wraps

Sesame oil


For the chicken gyros


800g chicken breast filet

10 twigs thyme

4 twigs rosemary

8 sage leaves

2 Tbsp Mayoran

1 Tbsp Oregano

4 tsp chili flakes

8 garlic cloves (minced)

4 Tbsp Olive oil

Salt, Pepper


 

 

Method

​

  • Take the chicken breast and cut them in two halfs horizontally, so that you have to thin chicken breast filets.

  • Cut the chicken in 5-8 mm stripes perpendicular to the direction of the muscle fibre. This ensures that there are no longer strings in the chicken, which could go tough.

  • Finely chop all the herbs and mix them together in a bowl with the olive oil and garlic.

  • Add the Mayoran, Oregano and Chili flakes and gently marinate the chicken in the same bowl until all the chicken stripes are covered.

  • Place the chicken in the freezer to marinate for at least 4 hours.

  • In the meantime, prepare the pita dough as described on our website and let it sit covered in clingfilm.

  • Once it is dinner time, take the dough and split it up in 8 equal sized portions.

  • Use your hands to form small pita breads with 10cm diameter. Don't roll the pitas.

  • Place a large, thick pan on high heat and add 1 tsp of sesame oil.

  • Once hot, fry the first 4 pita breads until golden brown, slightly dark on boths sides. Repeat that with the other 4 and set the pitas aside in a pot with the lid on to stay warm.

  • Use the same pan and keep the heat super high, to fry half of the chicken gyros. It only takes a few minutes to cook. Don't overmix it, so it can actually fry and develop some flavour.

  • Once just cooked, take the chicken out into a bowl and fry the second half.

  • Once that is done as well, add the two batches together in a bowl and give it a mix, so that all the chicken has the same temperature.

  • Season with salt and pepper and serve with salad.

Good to know

Pitas and Chicken were absolutely amazing. Just need to see if it is reproducible and get a better picture.
