Chicken And Chorizo Flatbreads Food

CHICKEN AND CHORIZO FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Lightly toast the flatbreads in a dry frying pan.
• Top with spinach, spoon over the coleslaw and scatter over the chargrilled chicken.
• Quickly fry the chorizo and snip into bitesize pieces.
• Scatter them over the chicken along with the black olives.

HALLOUMI FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Toast the pumpkin seeds with the cumin seeds in a large frying pan until they begin to pop and smell fragrant, then transfer to a large bowl. Add the cabbage, peppers and vinegar, and season well. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
• Heat oven to low and put the bread in to warm through. Using the pan you used to toast the seeds, fry the halloumi with the olive oil in batches for 3 mins each side until crispy and golden. Transfer to the oven to keep warm.
• Spread a layer of hummus on each flatbread and top with a handful of slaw, halloumi and rocket to serve.

LEMON & YOGURT CHICKEN FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Put the chicken in a bowl. Pare strips of zest from the lemon using a vegetable peeler, then juice the lemon too. Add the peel and half the juice to the chicken, along with the oregano (if using), garlic, cinnamon and oil. Mix well, cover and chill for an hour. The lemon juice will start to 'cook' the chicken, so don't leave for longer.
• Heat the barbecue. If you are using coals, wait until they turn white. If you are indoors, heat a griddle pan. Thread the chicken strips onto a couple of metal skewers to stop them falling through the grate (you don't need to do this for the griddle), then grill for a couple of mins each side. The strips will cook through quickly so don't leave them too long. Season if you like.
• Warm the flatbreads on the edge of the barbecue (or on the griddle) for a minute, then transfer them to plates and spread each with ½ tbsp yogurt. Divide the chicken strips between them, then dot on the remaining yogurt and sprinkle over the pepper and lettuce. Fold or roll the flatbreads to eat.

CHICKEN CHORIZO PATTY MELT

Steps:

• Patties: In a large bowl, gently but thoroughly combine all ingredients. Form into 4 equal-sized thin patties roughly the size of the bread you will be using or in the case of the naan, 1/2 the bread size. Cover the patties with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Onions: In a medium saute pan on medium heat melt the butter with the oil. Add the onion and season with a pinch of salt and a couple of grinds of pepper, to taste. Saute until the onions are caramelized, about 35 minutes, and set aside.
• Preheat a griddle with 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Griddle the patties on the on both sides until crispy on the edges and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and wipe the griddle. Assemble the sandwiches by layering each bread 1/2 with a slice of cheese, a patty, another slice of cheese, onions, and the other bread 1/2, in that order. Brush or add 2 more tablespoons of oil to the griddle and put the sandwiches on the griddle. Press on the sandwich with a spatula to help toast evenly and hold the sandwich together. Cook until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted, about 2 minutes on each side. Serve immediately with ketchup, for dipping.

BBQ CHICKEN FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the chicken in half of the BBQ sauce to coat in a bowl. Place the flatbreads onto a baking sheet. Divide the other half of the BBQ sauce between the 2 flatbreads. Spread, leaving a slight edge all the way around the flatbreads. Top each with half of the provolone, chicken, red onion, jarred jalapenos and habanero pepper.
• Bake until the flatbreads are golden and the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Transfer to a cutting board and drizzle over the ranch dressing. Garnish with the cilantro and slice.

CHICKEN AND CHORIZO RICE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet or pot over high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add to the skillet along with the chorizo; cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Move the chicken and chorizo to one side of the pan and stir in the tomato paste, rice and capers. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Stir in the peas, reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Let rest, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Serve with lemon wedges.
