Homemade chicken flatbreads in a yogurt marinade topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 2 limes
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp ground turmeric
- 2.5 cups full-fat Greek yogurt
- 8 chicken fingers (about 450 g)
- 1.5 cups self-raising flour + extra for working
- 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
- Half a cucumber, cut into thin slices and cut into 4 pieces
- 8 grape tomatoes, quartered
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta
- 1/4 small red onion, cut into 4 pieces
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- Salad greens, for serving
Preparation:
- Squeeze the juice of 1 lime into a medium bowl. Stir in the cumin, turmeric, 1 cup of yogurt, 1 teaspoon of salt, and plenty of black pepper. Add the chicken fingers and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Meanwhile, cut the remaining lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into a small bowl. Stir in 0.5 cups yogurt and 1 tablespoon water until smooth; refrigerate until ready to serve. Slice the remaining lime half into wedges and set aside for serving.
Quick flatbreads In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining 1 cup yogurt, and 2 tablespoons water. Mix with a fork to form a rough dough. The dough may seem dry and crumbly at first, but continue mixing until it comes together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and slightly elastic, dusting with flour as needed, about 8 minutes. If the dough seems too dry, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue kneading until soft and pliable.
- Divide the dough into 4 parts, form balls and flatten or roll them into circles with a diameter of 20 cm.
- Generously spray a grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Brush 2 sheets of dough on each side with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on the grill pan. Grill the tortillas until the edges are dry and dark grill marks appear, about 3 minutes.
- Flip and fry until golden brown on the other side, another 2 minutes. Set aside and repeat with the remaining dough sheets and olive oil. Brush any remaining crumbs to the edges of the pan.
- Shake off as much marinade as possible from the chicken pieces and transfer to a grill pan. Grill until dark grill marks appear and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165°F (74°C), about 4 minutes per side.
- Spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of yogurt sauce. Top with 2 chicken fingers and sprinkle with a quarter of the cucumber, tomatoes, feta, red onion, and cilantro. Drizzle with the remaining yogurt sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Fold the tortilla in half like a taco and serve immediately with lime wedges and salad greens.
