Mr Chops' Spicy Chicken with Flatbread

Mr. Chops took over the cooking reins last night. The seeds of this dinner began with the find of the month in Aldi - Mediterranean flat breads. These breads make a delicious alternative to pitta breads and all they need is 40 0r 50 seconds in a warm oven. Anyway it was chicken breast for dinner and Mr. Chops decided that a little marination was in order. The following is his recipe:

Spicy Chicken and Veg - serves 2
2 Chicken breasts
Marinade made with some paprika, chilli powder, little bit of cumin, little bit of cayenne pepper, turmeric, chopped garlic and ginger, plenty of salt & pepper and a couple tbsp olive oil.

Mix the chicken with the marinade and give it all a good mix and let it sit in the fridge for around 4 hours.

In the meantime, slice a half each of an orange and yellow pepper and slice a red onion. Chop up a few leaves of iceberg lettuce finely and mix with a finely sliced small shallot as your garnish.

Chilli Mayonnaise
Mix a couple of tablespoons of mayo with crushed garlic, a little salt and a dollop of Sriracha sauce* and a dribble of Frank's Hot sauce. Just mix it all up and there you have it.

Method
Stir fry the chicken for approx 6 mins. Then remove it from the pan and stir fry the veg for a minute or two and add the chicken back in at the end. In the meantime, reheat the flatbread in the oven then assemble. Flatbread on the plate, smear on the chilli mayo, then the lettuce & shallot mix and top with the spicy chicken and veg and eat. No photo was too hungry to take the time.

*Sriracha sauce can be found at any Asian foodstore and is a really hot and spicy chilli sauce so if you like it very hot add more.
