Chicken Flatbread

Out of every recipe that Seth has experimented with since we got married, Chicken Flatbread has got to be his favorite. I have eaten it many more times than I can count, and there are countless times when I ask Seth what I should make for dinner only to hear a very hopeful answer of "Chicken Flatbread?" He would have it every week if I let him :) It actually is really good, and it was the first meal Seth made that shocked me. Thankfully, since Seth is so passionate about it, I was able to get him to agree to do a cooking show demonstration of how to roll out and actually cook the flatbread ;) Scroll to the bottom of this post to see it :)

We make three different kinds of chicken that pair well with this flatbread. We make a cajun seasoning, a taco seasoning and a greek seasoning. My favorite is the taco, so that's the recipe you will see below. 

Ingredients:
-1 tbsp chili powder
-1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
-1/4 tsp oregano
-1/2 tsp paprika
-1/2 tsp garlic powder
-1/2 tsp onion powder
-1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
-1 tsp salt
-1 tsp pepper
-2 or 3 boneless chicken breasts
-1 tbsp olive oil

Cube the chicken breasts, and cook them in a pan with the tbsp of oil. Mix the seasoning together in a bowl, and add it to the chicken once it's fully cooked.

This seasoning is also good with regular tacos with ground beef :)

Now for the flatbread!

Ingredients:
-1 pkg active dry yeast
-1/2 tsp sugar
-1 3/4 cup flour
-1 tsp salt
-1 1/2 tsp thyme
-3/4 cup water
-1 tsp oil

Pulse all the dry ingredients in a food processor bowl. Add the water in a steady stream until the dough forms into a ball. Knead the dough until springy.
Place the ball in an oiled bowl, cover and let rise for an hour until doubled.
Watch the video for the rest ;)


Once the chicken and flatbread is made, I like to fold the bread over with lots of shredded cheese and press it like a panini with our Foreman :)
