For the Garlic-Marinated Chicken

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small strips
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• Juice of 1/2 a lemon
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Flatbread Base

• 4 flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Toppings

• 1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
• 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Optional Drizzle

Pick one or mix and match:

• Tzatziki sauce
• Garlic yogurt sauce (mix Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil)
• Balsamic glaze
• Lemon-tahini sauce (blend tahini, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt)
• Spicy harissa sauce

🍽️ How to Make It

1. Marinate the Chicken

• In a medium bowl, mix the garlic, olive oil, oregano, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Add the chicken strips, toss to coat, and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the fridge).

2. Cook the Chicken

• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked. Set aside.

3. Prep the Flatbread Base

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Brush each flatbread with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with garlic powder.

4. Assemble the Flatbreads

• Lay the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Top each with a portion of the cooked chicken, roasted red peppers, olives, red onion, and feta cheese.

5. Bake to Perfection

• Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges of the flatbread are golden and crisp and the feta is slightly melted.

6. Garnish and Serve

• Sprinkle the flatbreads with fresh parsley before serving. Slice into wedges, drizzle with your chosen sauce, and enjoy!

⭐ Tips & Tricks

1. Save Time: Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken if you’re in a rush. Just toss it in the marinade and lightly warm it up!
2. Homemade Touch: If you’re feeling adventurous, make your own flatbread for a fresh-from-the-oven taste.
3. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
4. Extra Crispy: Place your flatbreads directly on the oven rack for extra crunch.
5. Dipping Sauce: Serve extra sauce on the side for dipping!

🌟 Variations

• Protein Swap: Try grilled shrimp or thinly sliced steak instead of chicken.
• Vegetarian: Skip the chicken and load up on artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, or chickpeas.
• Spicy Kick: Add a sprinkle of red chili flakes or a drizzle of harissa sauce.
