TURMERIC:

• Use turmeric for its earthy flavor and golden color. You can omit it if unavailable.

OLIVE OIL:

• Use olive oil to provide healthy unsaturated fats and help cook the chicken. Alternatively, use avocado oil.

FRENCH BREAD:

• Use French bread to create a crispy exterior and soft center. You can substitute baguette, ciabatta, or whole-grain bread.

MOZZARELLA:

• Use mozzarella for a smooth, melted cheese texture. Alternatively, use provolone or reduced-fat mozzarella.

PARMESAN:

• Use Parmesan to provide a rich, savory flavor. You can substitute another hard cheese.

GREEK YOGURT:

HONEY:

CHILI FLAKES:

INSTRUCTIONS:

2. Cook the chicken in a frying pan on a normal flame for almost seven minutes, till it reaches 74°Celcius, and include parsley.

4. Stir the cooked chicken with garlic powder, Greek yogurt, Parmesan, and mozzarella.
5. Pour the bread with the chicken mixture and bake for almost twelve minutes till the cheese melts and the bread gets golden.
6. In a small pan, we preheat the olive oil, include the ginger & garlic, & cook briefly.
7. Whisk in the apple cider vinegar, honey, & chili flakes.
8. Drizzle the hot honey garlic sauce on the baked bread, sprinkle the parsley, slice, and serve hot.
