BBQ chicken and halloumi flatbread with sweetcorn and onions is smoky, sticky, and full of summer flavour. Golden halloumi, caramelised onions, and juicy corn kernels pair perfectly with saucy chicken. This recipe captures the joy of outdoor cooking, though it works just as well on a griddle indoors.
Prepare the chicken by slicing each breast in half horizontally. Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl, then coat the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat a grill pan or barbecue until very hot. Grill the corn cobs until blistered and golden, turning often. Once cooled slightly, slice off the kernels and set aside. Grill the onion rings until softened and charred around the edges. Next, cook the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until cooked through, brushing each piece with BBQ sauce during the last minute of cooking. Slice into strips. Finally, grill the halloumi slices for 1–2 minutes per side until golden.
Warm the flatbreads briefly, then assemble by spreading a little extra BBQ sauce, layering on chicken, halloumi, corn, and onions, and finishing with fresh coriander.
