Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Juice and zest of 1 lime

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, lime juice, and lime zest until well combined. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your liking. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are thoroughly coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to enhance the flavor.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink at the center. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.

      Prepare the Flatbreads: While the chicken is resting, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over each flatbread. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating a delicious, golden topping.

        Assemble the Flatbreads: Once the flatbreads are out of the oven, it’s time to bring everything together. Top each flatbread generously with the sliced chili lime chicken, followed by the avocado slices and halved cherry tomatoes. Finish by sprinkling fresh cilantro over the entire surface for added flavor and color.

          Serve: Cut each flatbread into wedges for easy serving. Present them warm, accompanied by lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of refreshing lime juice.
