This is a bit like Iskender kebab, only with chicken!

  • 2 cups yogurt mixed with 2 tsp minced garlic

  • 1 onion
  • 3 tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp paprika / red pepper flakes
  • 2 tsp dried mint
  • 2 tsp thyme
  • salt

Directions:

  1. Heat 1/4 cup oil and cook chicken thoroughly.
  2. Add salt, paprika, and pepper flakes. Remove from heat.
  3. Chop stale bread into bite-sized pieces. Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 10 min.
  4. Heat remaining oil and saute onions.
  5. Add tomatoes, cook 10 min.
  6. Add salt, mint, and thyme. Cook 2 min, remove from heat.
  7. Serve: bread (bottom) –> tomato sauce –> yogurt –> chicken (top)
