This Chicken Shish Fakeaway is everything you want from a midweek dinner: nutritious, and full of authentic Turkish flavour, without the wait (or the price tag) of a takeaway. It costs around a quarter of the price of a kebab shop order and is on the table in just 15 minutes.
We love this recipe as a quick, no-fuss midweek meal, but at the weekends we’ll take it a step further — making our own pittas or flatbreads, adding extra mezze, and turning it into a proper feast. It’s flexible, comforting, and never boring.
If you love this recipe, our Chicken Kebab Bundle includes everything you need to make it at home — perfect for easy dinners or relaxed hosting.
Serves 2
Ingredients
For the chicken
- 2 Chicken Breasts, diced into large chunks
- 2 heaped tsp Chicken Shish Marinade
- 1/2tsp Olive Oil
Kebab Shop Style Salad
- 1 small Red Onion, sliced thinly
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 1/4 Red Cabbage, either finely sliced or grated
- 2tbsp Turkish Salad Dressing
To Serve
- 2tbsp Turkish Chilli Sauce
- 2tbsp Turkish Garlic Sauce
- Pitta Bread or flatbread (shop bought or make your own using this recipe)
Cooking Instructions
- Place the diced chicken into a large bowl with the Chicken Shish Marinade and massage it in thoroughly until all of the chicken is evenly coated.
- Put a large frying pan over a medium/high heat. Pour the 1/2tsp of olive oil into the pan and carefully use some kitchen roll to spread it around the pan. You do not need to add oil to the marinade but we are just brushing the pan to avoid the chicken getting stuck.
- Once the pan is hot add the chicken to the pan and cook for around 5-6 mins on one side. Once it has become golden and a little charred turn each piece of chicken breast over and cook for another 5-6mins.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare your salad by mixing all of the ingredients together in a large bowl, pour over the Turkish Salad Dressing and leave to one side.
- Warm through your pitta bread or flatbread in the toaster
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove from the heat and place your pitta bread on plate with your salad, place the chicken on top with drizzle of Turkish Chilli Sauce & Garlic Sauce. Enjoy!
