Chicken Flatbreads

You simply cannot purchase a packaged flatbread half as soft and fresh as these homemade ones. Pile them high with chicken, spinach and a lemony yogurt sauce!

Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs 
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided 
3 tablespoons Mediterranean seasoning (we used basil, thyme and parsley), divided
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full fat), divided
1 teaspoon lemon juice 
1½ teaspoon sugar, divided
1½ teaspoon salt, divided
2 cups flour 
¾ teaspoon baking soda 
¼ cup water
1 bag baby spinach or salad mix

Directions

  1.  Coat thighs in 1 tablespoon olive oil, rub with 2 tablespoons seasoning and marinate overnight. 

  2. The next day, sauté or grill thighs until done, then slice thinly against the grain. Set aside.

  3. Mix ½ cup yogurt, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon seasoning, ½ teaspoon sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt in a bowl. Keep cold. 

  4. For the flatbreads, mix together flour, soda, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Then add ½ cup yogurt, ¼ cup water, and 1 tablespoon olive oil, stirring until combined. Knead dough one minute until soft, then divide into 2-inch balls. Allow the dough to rest 20–30 minutes. Then roll the balls out into ¼-inch thick rounds and heat 30 seconds per side in a lightly greased, very hot pan. 

  5. Place the yogurt sauce, chicken and greens into the flatbreads. Eat!
