Ingredients for 10-Minute Chicken Flatbreads with Hummus and Yoghurt

  • 450g boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, thinly sliced crosswise

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for serving

  • 3 mini seedless cucumbers, sliced into 1/4" coins (about 230g )

  • 1 large tomato, cut into 1/2" cubes (about 350g )

  • 1 (275g) container hummus

  • 240ml plain unsweetened yoghurt (either Greek or regular)

  • 1/4 cup parsley leaves (optional)

  • 4 pitas

  • Lemon wedges and flaky sea salt (for serving)

How to make 10-Minute Chicken Flatbreads with Hummus and Yoghurt

Toss chicken with cumin, kosher salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high. Add chicken mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Meanwhile, heat grill. Divide cucumbers and tomato among small serving bowls. Spoon hummus and yoghurt into separate serving bowls. Grill pitas just until warmed, about 2 minutes.

Serve chicken, cucumbers, tomato, hummus, yoghurt, and parsley, if using, with lemon wedges, sea salt, and more oil alongside so everyone can assemble their own flatbreads as desired.
