80-100 grams cheese (2.8-3.5 ounces)
herbs to taste

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Kebabs

Start by grating the onion finely, then use a sieve to remove excess moisture. This is important for achieving a tender kebab mixture, as it minimizes additional liquid in the mince.

Next, in a large bowl, combine the chicken mince with the grated onion, finely shredded cheese, herbs, and khmeli-suneli spice mix. Mix everything well until fully incorporated. Then, to ensure the mixture binds together perfectly, *pound the mixture briefly* to remove air pockets.

Now it’s time to shape the kebabs. You can use a plastic wrap or zip-lock bag to help you in shaping them easily. If possible, freeze the shaped kebabs briefly before vacuum sealing them to preserve freshness.

Step 2

Make the Flatbreads

In another mixing bowl, combine the chicken mince with spices such as dried garlic, paprika, and any herbs you prefer. Mix everything well and *pound* the mixture gently to help it hold together better.

Once prepared, divide the mixture into six equal parts. Roll each portion into a ball, and then distribute it evenly on each flatbread. After that, carefully wrap the flatbread around the filling.

Finally, tightly wrap each flatbread in cling film and freeze them. This makes for a quick snack or breakfast option in just minutes!

Step 3

Prepare Julienne Bites

If you have julienne chicken prepared, you can either freeze it as it is or bake it into smaller bite-sized portions as a delicious treat. These bites are perfect for parties or quick meals.

When you are ready to enjoy them, allow them to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before cooking or reheating in the oven. They can be a comforting addition to any meal!

Servings

When you pull these delicious meal prep items from the freezer, there are so many ways to enjoy them! Serve your lovely kebabs on a bed of fresh greens with a drizzle of garlic yogurt sauce for a refreshing salad. 🌿 Or, throw them in a whole-grain wrap, add some crunchy veggies, and you’ve got a filling lunch that's perfect for on-the-go. Don’t forget about the flatbreads! Warm them up and stuff with fresh cheese, roasted vegetables, or even a tasty homemade dip for a fantastic snack. 🥙

Equipment

Skillet or Grill Pan

For perfectly browned kebabs or flatbreads, a sturdy skillet or grill pan is a must! Ensure it's non-stick to keep everything intact.

Invest in high-quality freezer bags or a vacuum sealer. This way, you’ll keep your food fresh far longer in the freezer, and reduce freezer burn.
