Spanakopita-Inspired Chicken Tenders and Flatbreads
with Marinated Tomatoes
Spanakopita is a savoury Greek pie made of phyllo dough, spinach and cheese. Tonight, we've swapped the phyllo for flatbread to make "spanakopizza." Creamy ricotta, tangy feta, spinach, chicken tenders and our Dill-Garlic Spice Blend unite to bring you a bit of Mediterranean flavour joy in every bite!

Cooking Steps
- Peel, then cut half the red onion (whole onion for 4 ppl) into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Thinly slice green onion.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 ppl).
- Roughly chop spinach. (TIP: Place in a bowl, then chop using kitchen shears or scissors!)

- Halve tomatoes.
- Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a large bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. Add tomatoes, then toss to coat.

- Spread ricotta mixture over toasted flatbreads, then top with onion-spinach mixture, chicken and remaining feta.
- Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown and crisp, 6-8 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, bake flatbreads in the middle and top of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
- Quarter spanakopita-inspired flatbreads.
- Divide between plates, then top with marinated tomatoes and remaining green onions.
