Ingredients

Scale

For the Ground Chicken:

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Flatbreads and Toppings:

  • 4 flatbreads
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onion

For the Spicy Lemon Honey Feta Cream:

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground chicken and cook for about 7 to 8 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks, until it is browned and cooked through.
  2. Add Spices and Garlic: Stir in minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is fragrant and well combined.
  3. Prepare the Spicy Lemon Honey Feta Cream: In a bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, chili flakes, and olive oil. Mix until the cream is smooth and well blended.
  4. Warm the Flatbreads: Heat the flatbreads in a dry skillet or oven until warm and pliable, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
  5. Assemble the Flatbreads: Spread a generous layer of the feta cream over each flatbread. Top with cooked ground chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
  6. Serve: Fold the flatbreads into pockets and serve immediately while warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey or lean ground beef if preferred.
  • Adjust chili flakes in the feta cream and chicken filling to control the spice level.
  • Warm the flatbreads briefly to make folding easier and prevent cracking.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute feta and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
  • Leftovers can be stored separately; reheat the chicken and assemble fresh to keep flatbreads from sogging.
