Ingredients
  

For the topping
  • 4 oz chicken mince 125 g
  • 1/4 tsp cooking salt about 1.5 g
  • 1/2 tsp paprika about 1 g
  • 1 tsp Baharat spice mix about 2 g
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 tsp tomato paste about 10 g
  • 1 tsp dried oregano about 1 g
For the base + finishing
  • 1 large Lebanese bread about 12 inches (30 cm)
  • Extra virgin olive oil about 2–3 tsp / 10–15 ml total
  • Seasoning herbs optional
  • 2 tbsp goats cheese about 30 g
  • Sesame seeds about 1 tsp / 3 g
  • 1 tsp parsley chopped (about 1 g)
  • Olive oil for drizzling

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spoon or spatula (for spreading)
  • Nonstick skillet with lid
  • Spatula (for flipping)
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix chicken mince, salt, paprika, baharat, garlic, tomato paste, and dried oregano until well combined.
  2. Lay the Lebanese bread flat and spread the chicken mixture evenly in a thin layer over the surface.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil.
  4. Place the flatbread in the skillet (topping side up). Cover and cook until the bottom is crisp and the topping begins to set.
  5. Carefully flip and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through (ground chicken should reach 165°F / 74°C).
  6. Transfer to a board, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds and parsley, add small dots of goat cheese, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Swap chicken mince with turkey mince.
  • No baharat? Use cumin + coriander with a tiny pinch of cinnamon.
  • Keep the topping thin so it cooks evenly before the bread over-browns.
  • Covering the pan helps the topping cook faster; uncover briefly at the end for extra crispness.
  • Add goat cheese after cooking so it stays creamy.
