Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss 5 ounces thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken thigh with 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning, then sauté the chicken for 4-5 minutes until cooked through and slightly charred on edges.
  2. Step 2: While the chicken cooks, preheat the oven broiler. Place 1 large (8-inch) flatbread on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly crisp but still pliable.
  3. Step 3: Remove the flatbread from the oven and spread 3 tablespoons mango chutney evenly over the surface.
  4. Step 4: Top the chutney with the cooked jerk chicken and 2 tablespoons thinly sliced red onion.
  5. Step 5: Return the flatbread to the broiler for an additional 1 minute to warm the toppings.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven, sprinkle 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves over the top, and serve immediately with a lime wedge on the side for squeezing.
