Chicken Souvlaki, Cajun Fries and Salsa: A Sensational Sandwich Recipe

Mediterranean Fusion: Souvlaki Chicken and Crispy Chicken Skin Sandwich

Greetings, fellow flavour enthusiasts! Today, we’re embarking on a culinary adventure that transcends borders, featuring a sandwich that combines the zesty charm of souvlaki chicken, the crunch of crispy chicken skin, the freshness of tzatziki, the spice of Cajun fries, the vibrancy of tomato and red onion salsa, and the creamy allure of feta and hummus. Get ready for a taste explosion that’ll transport you to the sunny streets of the Mediterranean!

Souvlaki Chicken: Zesty Perfection

Our journey begins with the star of the show—souvlaki chicken. Imagine succulent chicken, marinated to perfection in a blend of Mediterranean spices, bringing a zesty kick to every bite. It’s the kind of flavour that transports you straight to the vibrant markets of Greece, making this sandwich a passport to culinary delight.

Crispy Chicken Skin: Crunchy Bliss

Next up, the unexpected crunch of crispy chicken skin. Picture golden-brown, irresistibly crispy skin adding a textural symphony to our sandwich. It’s not just a topping; it’s a crispy crescendo that elevates the entire experience, making each bite a delightful blend of tenderness and crunch.

Fresh Tzatziki: Cool Refreshment

Now, let’s cool things down with fresh tzatziki. Imagine creamy Greek yoghurt blended with cucumber, garlic, and a hint of mint. It’s a refreshing companion that balances the boldness of the souvlaki chicken and adds a cool, tangy breeze to our sandwich, creating a harmony of flavours.

Cajun Fries: Spicy Kick

Adding a spicy kick to our creation, we introduce Cajun fries. Think about crispy potato fries dusted with a fiery Cajun seasoning. These fries aren’t just a side; they’re an integral part of our sandwich, contributing a burst of spice that keeps your taste buds dancing.

Tomato and Red Onion Salsa: Vibrant Burst

Now, for a burst of vibrancy—tomato and red onion salsa. Picture ripe tomatoes and crisp red onions diced and mixed with fresh herbs. This salsa adds a burst of colour and a lively freshness, creating a symphony of flavours that complements the richness of our sandwich.

Feta and Hummus: Creamy Indulgence

Finally, the creamy indulgence of feta and hummus. Imagine crumbled feta cheese adding a tangy kick, while velvety hummus provides a smooth, savoury layer. Together, they create a creamy indulgence that ties all the elements together in a Mediterranean embrace.

Assembling the Culinary Fiesta

Now, let’s assemble this culinary fiesta. Choose your favourite hearty bread, ready to hold the robust flavours.

Lay down the zesty souvlaki chicken, followed by the crispy chicken skin for that delightful crunch. Slather on a generous portion of fresh tzatziki, creating a cool base. Pile on the Cajun fries, adding a spicy kick, and then top it off with the vibrant tomato and red onion salsa. Sprinkle crumbled feta for tanginess and finish with a velvety layer of hummus. It’s a sandwich celebration that brings the Mediterranean to your plate.

The Souvlaki Chicken and Crispy Chicken Skin Sandwich with Fresh Tzatziki, Cajun Fries, Tomato and Red Onion Salsa, Feta, and Hummus is a feast that captures the essence of the Mediterranean in every mouthful.

Instructions

In a bowl, mix the yoghurt, olive oil, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken thighs for 6-8 minutes per side or until fully cooked.
For the crispy chicken skin – preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the chicken skin (if using it) on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the skin is crispy. Watch closely to prevent burning.
For the tsatziki – in a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, minced garlic, chopped mint, salt, and pepper.
Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the chips we just used some shop bought oven chips with a little oil, salt and Cajun seasoning and cooked in the oven on 400°F (200°C) until crispy.
For the salsa, combine diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Mix well and set aside.
