Ingredients
- 0.75 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless, thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 flatbreads
- 0.5 English cucumber (diced)
- 1 Roma tomato (diced)
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 lemon (juiced)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Pat chicken breast dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, and garlic powder.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove from heat.
- While chicken cooks, warm flatbreads in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1 minute per side, or microwave briefly until soft.
- In a medium bowl, combine diced English cucumber, diced Roma tomato, and chopped fresh parsley for the salad. Dress with a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine plain Greek yogurt with the remaining lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper for a quick sauce.
- Assemble the flatbreads: Spread a layer of the lemon-yogurt sauce on each warm flatbread, then top with the Arabian-spiced chicken and the cucumber-tomato salad.
Notes
Add a sprinkle of sumac to the yogurt sauce for extra tang. Pre-cut salad vegetables can make this meal even faster.
