Thai Chicken Flatbread
This flavorful Thai chicken flatbread has so many delicious ingredients: peanut sauce, carrots, scallions, fresh cilantro and mozzarella cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 small store-bought naan flatbreads
- 3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable, or coconut oil
- 2 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1-1/2 cups finely shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3/4 cup coarsely shredded carrot, 1 to 2 medium
- 3 to 4 scallions, sliced
- 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro, leaves only, roughly chopped
For the Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- Juice of 1 lime, about 2 tablespoons
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce, see notes
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon sriracha, or other hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Arrange the naan on a baking sheet and pre-bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- While the naan bakes, heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sauté until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Drain the excess fat and juices and set aside.
- Prepare the sauce by combining the peanut butter, lime juice, sugar, soy sauce and sriracha in a small bowl. Add water in 1 tablespoon increments until the mixture reaches the consistency of thick syrup and set aside.
- Distribute about 1/2 cup of the cheese between the 4 flatbreads, then top each with a portion of chicken. Top with shredded carrot, scallions and cilantro, then drizzle with the peanut sauce. Finish by topping with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.
