Step 1
Slice the 1 lb chicken breast into thin strips. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 2
Sprinkle the 2 tsp sumac over the chicken and stir to coat. Add a pinch of salt and pepper if you like. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Warm the 4 flatbreads in a dry pan or oven until soft and pliable, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Step 4
Top each flatbread with the chicken, then sprinkle with the 0.5 cup pomegranate seeds and fresh herbs like parsley or mint if you have them.
Step 5
Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and serve with the 0.5 cup yogurt on the side.
