Spicy Chicken Sandwich
We all have our dark little secrets. Our inner desires, lurking just underneath the surface. The shame we feel when these secrets are uncovered is undeniable, but it’s so hard keeping them hidden, that it wears one out, and we become weak. Sometimes, we must give in to them before they overtake us and we fall headlong into a bottomless pit of destructive passion, never to return.
Or, we just hide the car keys, walk into the kitchen and start recreating a healthier flatbread version of the fast food spicy chicken sandwich that haunts us. Because that’s my dark little secret: the S.C.S. (What did you think I was talking about? Sheesh. This is a flatbread site, people!) And I think I did pretty well, if I do say so myself. The new and improved “S.C.F.” is a winner. It has crunch, spice, creaminess, and more.
With flatbread, there’s endless possibilities to create and recreate, invent and reinvent, all your favorite bad-for-you foods into something better for you, and, in the process, make up some new delicious recipes along the way. And that, my friends, is more satisfying than any fast food sandwich could ever be. If you are haunted by a guilty food pleasure, I challenge you to flatbread-ize it, make it at home, and see if you can’t do better than a chain. I bet you can.
Good luck!

Rustic Chickpea Spread with Flatbread Parmesan Crisps
Every month I have been trying to incorporate a dip recipe into the mix, so I have the excuse to bake up a bunch of flatbread chips in the oven, each batch flavored a different way. We are great noshers in our household. In fact, I think my better half, before we met, ate most of his meals standing up at the counter with the refrigerator door wide open, for light…when we met we had snacking in common, so we both love and appreciate the versatility (and low carb count) of flatbread chips. Season them, squirt some lime juice on them, bake them. Perfect for healthy snacking.
This simple chickpea spread is perfect to make in a hurry when you have the munchies and need some protein. It’s a dip that works perfectly with the richness of the parmesan cheese baked onto the flatbread chips, and gives a nice Italian flavor to the whole affair, too.
You’re gonna love it!
