Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

4 pieces of flatbread (pita or naan)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they're well-coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).

    Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

      Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and it is fully cooked. Once done, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

        Prepare the Flatbread: While the chicken is resting, place the flatbreads on the grill for about 1-2 minutes on each side, just until they are warm and have nice grill marks.

          Assemble the Flatbreads: On each piece of grilled flatbread, layer the sliced chicken, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella, halved cherry tomatoes, and red onion slices.

            Melt the Cheese: Close the grill lid and let the assembled flatbreads heat for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the flatbreads from the grill and top them with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
