Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to spice preference)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large flatbreads or naan

1 cup sliced bell peppers (red, yellow, and green)

1 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

    Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

      Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear. Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing.

        Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once heated, add the sliced bell peppers and red onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

          Assemble the Flatbreads: While the vegetables are cooking, place the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Top each flatbread with a layer of grilled vegetables, sliced grilled chicken, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.

            Melt the Cheese: Place the baking sheet under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the flatbreads from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro. Serve with dollops of sour cream or Greek yogurt and lime wedges on the side for an extra kick.
