Chicken in lavash is an astonishingly simple yet delightfully tasty dish that combines tender meat and a crispy shell. Inspired by European culinary traditions, this appetizer evokes warm family dinners where the aroma of roasted chicken fills the home with coziness.

This dish is perfect for festive tables and friendly gatherings where each bite reveals a deep bouquet of flavors and textures. Chicken in lavash is a blend of simplicity and sophistication that can surprise even the most discerning gourmets.
