• Food thermometer – I totally recommend getting yourself a food thermometer, especially for air frying chicken, it really gives me peace of mind when cooking. I like to know that food is cooked to the correct temperature.
• Tablespoon

How To Make Air Fryer Tandoori Chicken Flatbreads 

Step by step instructions for making delicious air fryer chicken flatbreads for dinner

Step One - season the chicken

• Add the diced chicken, yogurt, olive oil, tandoori spice powder, garlic powder and salt to a bowl and mix well to combine all the flavors.

Step Two - marinate the chicken

• Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (and up to 6-8 hours)

Step Three - prepare the salads

• Prepare your salads and breads for serving.

Step Four - air fry the tandoori chicken

• Air fry the chicken pieces at 200C for around 15 minutes, turning and tossing often to ensure even cooking. Try to keep the chicken in a single layer so it cooks more quickly.
• Check the chicken is cooked through properly before eating by using a digital meat thermometer.

NOTE! Larger pieces of chicken or double layered chicken will take longer to cook though than smaller or single layer chicken.

Step Five - serve the air fryer chicken flatbread

Recipe Tips And Ingredient Swaps For Our Air Fryer Chicken Flatbread Recipe 

Swap the flavours

Try seasoning the chicken with Mexican taco seasoning, Greek seasoning, Italian herb mix or go for a Chinese vibe or make BBQ chicken flatbreads or buffalo chicken flatbread. Swap the salads and sauces (BBQ sauce, buffalo sauce, hoisin sauce, tzatziki) to match your theme.

Swap the protein, try marinated Salmon or Halloumi

You could try swapping out the chicken pieces and using salmon or sliced halloumi - both of these go great on a flatbread with salad.

Add in some cheese

Chicken and cheese are a great match! Feel free to throw some cheese onto your flatbread - try mozzarella cheese, tangy cheddar cheese, feta cheese or blue cheese.

Add some air fried vegetables

Try air frying some bell peppers, onions or zucchini (courgette) and throwing them onto your flatbreads too.

Make ahead

You can marinate the chicken and leave it in the fridge for the day and cook when you get home. Prep the salad in advance too so all that's left for you to do is air fry the chicken and assemble your flatbreads.

How to store leftovers

Any leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for use within 24 hours. We usually use the leftover tandoori chicken for salad bowls or sandwiches.
