Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Warm the 4 flatbreads in a dry pan or oven until soft and pliable, about 1-2 minutes per side.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and serve with the 0.5 cup yogurt on the side.
