Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust according to your spice preference)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

4 large flatbreads or naan

1 cup assorted bell peppers, sliced (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, whisk together the olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, making sure they are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor infusion.

    Preheat the Grill: Start your grill and preheat it to medium-high heat, ensuring it's hot enough to achieve nice grill marks on the chicken.

      Grill the Chicken: Once the grill is preheated, remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip back into the bowl. Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Grill for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

        Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once it's hot, toss in the sliced bell peppers and red onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to heighten their flavors.

          Assemble the Flatbreads: While the vegetables are cooking, arrange the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Start layering by evenly spreading the sautéed vegetables over each flatbread, followed by the sliced grilled chicken. Finish with a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

            Melt the Cheese: Slide 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, as broilers can vary in effectiveness.

              Garnish and Serve: Once the cheese is perfectly melted, take the flatbreads out of the oven. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness. Serve with generous dollops of sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side and wedge lime for an extra tangy kick.
