After cooking your chicken to golden perfection, allow it to rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This critical step is often overlooked, yet it's essential for ensuring your chicken remains juicy and tender. Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, preventing it from becoming dry or tough. When you cut into the chicken immediately after cooking, you risk losing those flavorful juices, resulting in a less satisfying bite. So, be patient! Your taste buds will thank you later.

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Marinade:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sandwiches:

4 pieces of flatbread (naan or pita work well)

1 cup fresh spinach

1 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup creamy feta cheese or humus (optional)

Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

    - In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.

      - Add chicken breasts to the marinade and ensure they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for deeper flavor.

        Cook the Chicken:

          - Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.

            - Grill or cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

              Prepare the Flatbread:

                - While the chicken rests, warm the flatbreads on the grill or in a skillet for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are slightly toasted but still pliable.

                  Assemble the Sandwiches:

                    - Lay flatbread on a clean surface; spread a thin layer of creamy feta or hummus on each piece if desired.

                      - Evenly distribute a layer of fresh spinach, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, and red onion on top.

                        - Add the sliced honey garlic chicken over the vegetables.

                          Garnish:

                            - Sprinkle sesame seeds and fresh cilantro on top of the chicken for added flavor and presentation.

                              Serve:

                                - Roll or fold the flatbreads to enclose the filling and serve immediately while warm. You can also cut them in half for easier handling.
