Ingredients

For the Chicken Filling

• 1 whole chicken breast
• 9 lavash breads
• 1 onion
• 1 Kapya pepper
• 2 green peppers
• ½ tea glass vegetable oil
• 200 ml heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Kashar cheese
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp red pepper powder
• 1 tsp black pepper

For Coating

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• Salt, added to the eggs

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Cut the chicken breast into small cubes. Cook the chicken in a pan until it releases and absorbs its liquid and is fully cooked.

Step 2: Add the Vegetables

Add the vegetable oil, finely diced onion, Kapya pepper, and green peppers. Sauté everything together until the vegetables soften and the chicken is nicely cooked.

Step 3: Season and Make the Filling

Add the salt, curry powder, oregano, red pepper powder, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Finally, add the cream and grated Kashar cheese. Mix until everything is well combined and creamy. Remove from the heat and leave the filling to cool.

Step 4: Shape the Lavash Cones

Cut the lavash breads in half. Take 1½ lavash breads and cut them into circles using a mold; these will be used as the cone covers.

Roll the halved lavash pieces into cone shapes. Brush a little water along the overlapping edge and press it firmly so the cone sticks together.

Step 5: Fill the Cones

Fill each lavash cone generously with the cooled chicken mixture.

Step 6: Prepare the Coating

Beat the eggs with a little salt in a bowl. Prepare separate bowls for the flour and breadcrumbs.

Step 7: Coat the Chicken Cones

Close each filled cone with a prepared lavash cover. Dip each one first into the flour, then into the beaten egg, and finally coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs.

Step 8: Fry

Fry the coated chicken cones in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 9: Serve

Remove the crispy chicken cones from the oil and serve hot.

Recipe Tips

• Allow the chicken filling to cool before filling the lavash cones.
• Seal the lavash edges well with a little water so the cones stay closed.
• Do not overfill the cones, as this can make them difficult to close and coat.
• Coat each cone thoroughly with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs for a crispy exterior.
• Fry until evenly golden and crispy.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these crispy chicken cones hot as an appetizer, snack, or party dish. They are especially delicious while the coating is crisp and the creamy chicken and cheese filling is warm.

Storage

Refrigerator

Store leftover chicken cones in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Reheating

Reheat them in an oven or air fryer to help restore their crispy texture. Avoid reheating for too long, as the lavash coating can become dry.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many chicken cones does this recipe make?

The quantities in this recipe make approximately 15 chicken cones.

Can I use another cheese instead of Kashar?

Yes. A good melting cheese can be used as an alternative, although Kashar cheese provides the flavor and texture intended in the original recipe.

Why should the filling be cooled before filling the cones?

Cooling the filling makes it easier to handle and helps prevent the lavash from becoming too soft while you shape and coat the cones.
