Ingredients

1 large flatbread
1 cup cooked chicken breast (sliced)
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup shredded carrots (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
¼ cup Thai peanut sauce *see recipe below
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup Bean sprouts
½ cup peanut butter smooth or crunchy
2 tablespoons red curry paste
3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon lime juice about 1 lime
2 tablespoons honey or sugar or maple syrup for a vegan version
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon grated ginger fresh
1-2 garlic cloves minced
½ teaspoon sriracha or red chili flakes adjust to taste
¼ cup warm water more for desired consistency

Instructions

Prepare the Marinated Chicken: Combine sliced chicken breasts with soy sauce garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Preheat and Prepare the Flatbread: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure optimal baking temperature. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the flatbread with olive oil, evenly distributing it across the surface. To provide a crispy and golden flatbread, you can also preheat the baking sheet before placing the flatbread on it.
Assemble the Thai Fusion Chicken Flatbread: Mix your sauce over the prepared flatbread, creating a flavorful base. Layer the marinated chicken evenly on the sauce, with a generous sprinkling of shredded mozzarella cheese, carrots, onions and bean sprouts.
Bake Until Golden and Crispy: Place the assembled flatbread on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for approximately 10-12 minutes. Bake until the edges of the flatbread turn golden brown and crispy, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly heated and melded together.
Garnish and Serve Hot: Once baked, remove the flatbread from the oven and immediately sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro and green onions. Slice the flatbread into portions and serve hot, allowing everyone to enjoy this Thai-inspired dish's delicious flavors and textures.
*Make the Peanut Sauce
Mix the Peanut Butter Base: In a small sauce pan, combine the peanut butter, red curry paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, and sesame oil. Stir well to blend.
Add the Flavorings: Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha (or red chili flakes) to the mixture. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
Adjust Consistency: Slowly add warm water, a tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. You can keep it thicker for dipping or make it thinner for drizzling.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning. If you want it a bit sweeter, add more honey or maple syrup. If you prefer more tang, add a touch more lime juice or vinegar.

Notes

Here's a concise summary of the key pro tips for making Thai Chicken Flatbread:

For the best Thai Chicken Flatbread, start by slicing your chicken against the grain and give it proper marinating time for maximum flavor absorption. When making the peanut sauce, use natural peanut butter and warm coconut milk for the smoothest consistency. Pre-bake your flatbread briefly to ensure a crispy base, and avoid overloading it with toppings which can make it soggy. Keep your fresh toppings ready but add them after baking to maintain their crunch. For the best texture contrast, slice all vegetables very thinly and toast your peanuts before crushing them. You can prep several components ahead - the peanut sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance, and the chicken can be marinated overnight for deeper flavor. Just remember to bring the chicken to room temperature before cooking for even browning, and always use fresh lime juice rather than bottled for the most authentic taste.
