Directions
- Flatbread and Chicken
- In a large bowl or your mixing bowl, whisk the yeast, minced garlic, herbs, sea salt, sugar and flour. Make a well and add the warm water (make sure it’s a nice bath temp) and olive oil. Mix for a couple of minutes in the mixer or with a wooden spoon. If it still seems dry, add up to a ¼ cup more of water. Knead for a couple more minutes. When you have a well combined dough, place in an oiled bowl and cover with a towel for 1 hour.
- When the dough has doubled, pour it out onto a clean surface and cut into 8 equal pieces. Heat a large non stick skillet over medium high heat. Take one piece of dough at a time (covering the remaining pieces with a towel) and roll out on a lightly floured surface into a thin (but not paper thin) circle-ish. Drizzle a bit of olive oil in the pan and bake each piece of rolled dough for about 2 minutes on each side, until cooked and spotty brown. Place cooked flatbread in tinfoil to keep warm. Best eaten fresh, but can keep for a day or 2, sealed.
- Mix all the ingredients except chicken in a large zip lock bag or dish. Add the chicken and make sure to coat each piece. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.
- Heat your outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium high heat. When it’s nice and hot, place the chicken on the grill and cook about 6-8 minutes, turning once. It’s nice to get some charring on there. Remove when they’re cooked through and let rest, tented with foil for 10 minutes. Slice the chicken and set aside.
- Garlic Sauce
- Add all ingredients to a small bowl and mix to combine. Keeps well, sealed, for a week.
