Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 flatbreads
- 1 lb cooked chicken breast, sliced
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup olives, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp oregano
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure a crisp flatbread base.
- If the chicken breast is not already cooked, season with salt, pepper, and oregano, then grill or pan-sear until fully cooked and slice into thin strips.
- Spread a generous layer of hummus evenly across each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Arrange the sliced chicken breast evenly over the hummus layer.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the chicken to add a tangy Mediterranean flavor.
- Distribute halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and sliced olives across the flatbread.
- Drizzle olive oil over the toppings and sprinkle additional oregano for enhanced flavor.
- Place the prepared flatbreads on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and crispy.
- Remove from oven, let cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- For maximum flavor, use warm flatbreads and ensure your chicken is well-seasoned before adding to the base.
- If you're short on time, rotisserie chicken works perfectly as a quick substitute for freshly grilled chicken.
- To get that perfect golden crisp, use a preheated baking sheet and place the flatbreads directly on it.
- Don't skimp on the olive oil – it adds crucial moisture and helps create a beautiful golden edge.
- For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with grilled tofu or roasted chickpeas.
- Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the optimal texture – crispy edges and warm, melted toppings.
- Feel free to customize with additional Mediterranean ingredients like artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, or a sprinkle of za'atar for extra authenticity.
