Ingredients

• Flatbread - 2 pieces

• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and add to the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the chicken is marinating, preheat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
4. Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
6. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
7. Prepare the flatbreads by placing them on a baking sheet and topping each with the cooked chicken and sautéed bell peppers.
8. Sprinkle chopped green onions and cilantro over the top, then add sesame seeds if desired.
9. Broil in the oven for about 2-3 minutes until the flatbreads are crispy and heated through.
10. Remove from the oven, slice, and serve warm.
