Elevated Eats: Infused Chicken Gyro & Bruschetta Flatbread with Burrata

Hi Friends, I am back with two new Elevated Eats recipes.

The first is a chicken gyro that may just become your go-to sandwich this summer. Moon honey is used twice in this recipe, in the tzatziki sauce and in a lemon honey drizzle that finishes the grilled chicken. This drizzle would also be delicious on grilled fish and veggies. All components of the gyro may be made in advance making this perfect for assembly on the go, or for outdoor entertaining. You will definitely want to make sure you have extra tzatziki on hand for dipping (tip: also serve as a veggie dip all summer).

Chicken Gyros

approximately 25mg THC per gyro when you use all sauces & drizzles

(4 sandwiches)

.

1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs

Juice of 1 lemon (2-3 tablespoons)

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon Moon honey

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 1/2 teaspoons coriander

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Black pepper to taste

.

Season chicken with salt, pepper, coriander, paprika, and oregano. Whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil and Moon Honey in a bowl - toss seasoned chicken in the marinade. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Remove from the refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling so the chicken isn’t too cold when it hits the grill. Grill chicken using desired method until internal temperature reaches 170-175 degrees.

1 1/2 cups fresh diced tomatoes

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2-1 garlic clove grated (depending on preference)

1/4 cup fresh basil, sliced into ribbons

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

.

In a bowl add tomatoes and garlic, sprinkle with the salt. Let sit for 10-15 minutes. Drain off excess tomato juice in the bowl. Toss tomatoes with the basil and balsamic. Allow to sit an additional 10 minutes. Season with more salt if needed.

For the flatbread assembly:

You will need 1 ball of burrata cheese.

.

Allow the cheesy flatbread to cool. Once room temperature, cut into slices. Tear Burrata and place a portion on each slice. Top with a generous amount of bruschetta. Finish with Moon Honey. I do one teaspoon (1 serving) for half of the flatbread. Top with more fresh basil and red pepper flakes if desired.
