Steps

  • Mix olive oil, cinnamon, cayenne, cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Slit chicken undersides, coat in marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
  • Bash garlic and sea salt in a mortar, then add chillies, coriander, mint, and olives.
  • Stir in extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice to form a chunky paste.
  • Combine flour and salt with enough water to form a dough, then knead until smooth.
  • Divide dough into four circles and cook each on a hot griddle pan until charred.
  • Brush the cooked flatbreads with melted ghee.
  • Whisk olive oil, white wine vinegar, and mustard, then toss with cucumber and salad leaves.
  • Grill the marinated chicken over medium heat for 2 minutes per side.
  • Reduce heat to low and cook for 4 more minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve chicken with flatbreads, relish, salad, lemon wedges, and Greek yoghurt.
