Baked chicken breast with pepper in lavash or pita with onion is a modern interpretation of traditional European street snacks. Inspired by Mediterranean motifs, this dish combines the freshness of vegetables with the aroma of spices and the tenderness of chicken fillet. The combination of sweet pepper, onion, and aromatic herbs creates a rich flavor, while lime juice adds a zesty freshness. Baking at high temperatures gives the chicken a caramelized crust that enhances its aroma. Slightly warmed lavash or pita becomes soft and elastic, perfectly encasing the juicy filling. This dish is versatile—ideal for a light lunch or a picnic. The finished roll is easy to hold in hand, and creamy sour cream adds pleasant softness and balance to the taste. Its simplicity and richness make this recipe perfect for everyday enjoyment.
