Tavuk Doner - Chicken Doner Recipe - Australian.Food.com image

This is not quite the chicken doner from the restaurants but it's quite easy to make and satisfy my cravings. You must use fresh chicken and not use chicken that has been previously frozen. You will need to prepare the chicken overnight and freeze. I had trouble slicing my chicken with an electric knife so I would defrost it a little longer then 45 minutes. This recipe comes from www.turkishcookbook.com - For the Aussies ground chicken = minced chicken - Does not include overnight marinating time

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper, to seasoned chicken breast
175 g ground chicken
1 small onion, grated
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
salt
pepper
olive oil flavored cooking spray
1 cup yoghurt
1 small cucumber, discard the seeds with a teaspoon, grated and squeezed dry
1 tablespoon dill, chopped
1 garlic clove, smashed with salt
1 pinch sugar
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Place baking paper over chicken breast and using a meat tenderiser, hammer the chicken gentle to make it slightly thinner. Make sure you don't tear it, but it will not matter if you do. Repeat this with the other chicken breast. Seasoned the two chicken breast with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • In a bowl add the onion, oregano, olive oil, salt and pepper into the ground chicken. Knead and give it a round shape, then place in the middle of the two pieces of chicken breast.
  • Cover in plastic wrap and leave in the freezer overnight.
  • The next day remove them from the fridge 45 minutes before cutting. Use a knife, electric knife or meat cutter to shred/slice chicken.
  • Spray small amount of olive oil spray in a warm non-stick pan and cook chicken on both sides until slightly brown (be careful not to over-fry).
  • To make the yoghurt sauce, mix all the sauce ingredients in a separate bowl.
  • Serve it like a burger using Turkish bread rolls or as a wrap with pita bread. With lettuce leaves, tomato slices, onion slices and top with a generous amount of yoghurt sauce.
