Smoky Chicken Flatbread with Crispy Bacon, Avocado, and Sun-Dried Tomato Mayo


Sandwiches don't always have to mean two slices of bread - why not try this recipe for smokey chicken flatbread with crispy bacon, avocado and sundried tomato mayonnaise #BritishSandwichWeek

Ingredients:

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut through the center length-wise to create 4 thinner cutlets
  • Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon granulated onion
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon liquid smoke seasoning (typically found in the spices/seasoning section of your market)
  • 4 flatbreads, warm
  • Sun-dried Tomato Mayo (recipe below)
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Sliced avocado
  • 8 strips crispy-cooked bacon, cut in half to make 16 smaller strip

Preparation:
  1. Place the 4 chicken cutlets into a bowl, and add in about 1-2 tablespoons of the olive oil, along with the rest of the ingredients up to and including the liquid smoke, and toss to combine; allow the chicken to marinate for at least 20 minutes, or even overnight if doing ahead.
  2. When ready to grill, place a grill pan over medium-high heat, add in a tiny drizzle of oil, and grill the cutlets for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden-brown; set aside and once cool enough to handle, slice into strips on the bias; keep warm.
  3. To make the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of the Sun-dried Tomato Mayo on the flatbread, and onto half of it, add a few slices of the tomato, followed by some of the grilled chicken strips, then some of the avocado slices, then about 4 of the smaller strips of bacon; fold the other half over to create a flatbread sandwich, and enjoy.
