Lavash, chicken & herb pie with barberries

Chicken second courses Armenian cuisine

This extremely simple dish, taught to me by an Armenian friend, is one of the best ways to turn chicken leftovers into something mind-blowing—although it would be totally worth poaching a whole chicken just to make this. Herbs, seasoned yogurt, barberries, toasted sunflower seeds, chicken, crispy top – I can’t think of anything better to eat on a Monday night. If you live alone, or like me with a small child, you can make a mini version using a smaller baking sheet. <br /> <br />Excerpted from Kaukasis: A Culinary Journey through Georgia, Azerbaijan & Beyond by Olia Herclues (Weldon Owen, 2017)
