3. Halve the chicken breast and slice it lengthwise into thin pieces.
4. Place the chicken meat in a bowl, add the marinade, and mix thoroughly.

11. After baking, thinly slice the meat from the skewer with a sharp knife.
12. Assemble the döner: layer flatbread with sauce, meat, iceberg lettuce, white and red cabbage, onions, more sauce, Pul Biber, Sumak, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
13. Fold it together and enjoy your 100% homemade döner.
