Crispy chicken and halloumi flatbread with harissa mayo is the ultimate comfort dish. Crunchy chicken contrasts with chewy halloumi, while harissa mayo adds smoky heat and creaminess. Itβs indulgent but easy, making it the perfect Friday night recipe when you want something satisfying without fuss.
Start by preparing the chicken. Slice each breast into two thinner fillets. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in flour, dip into beaten egg, then coat in breadcrumbs, pressing to help them stick. Set aside on a plate.
Heat a frying pan with enough oil to cover the base. Fry the chicken fillets for 3β4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper. Grill halloumi slices in a hot pan or on a barbecue for 1β2 minutes per side until golden. Warm the flatbreads briefly.
To make the harissa mayo, mix mayonnaise, harissa paste, and lemon juice in a bowl. Assemble by spreading harissa mayo onto each flatbread, topping with crispy chicken, then layering grilled halloumi on top.
