Instructions

  1. For the creamy sauce, whisk together all the ingredients. Can be made several days in advance.
  2. For the vegetable relish, place the vegetables in a bowl or container. Whisk together the sugar, vinegar, sesame oil and salt. Pour over the vegetables and toss to coat well. Can use immediately but the relish tastes best if made at least an hour before and refrigerated.
  3. For the sweet and spicy hoisin sauce, whisk together all of the ingredients. Can be made several days in advance.
  4. To assemble, lightly warm the flatbread or naan to make it more pliable and soft (if needed, totally optional depending on the bread you are using).
  5. Spread a layer of creamy sauce over the flatbread and top with chicken, vegetable relish, a drizzle of hoisin sauce and fresh cilantro (optional but tasty).

Give it a minute off the heat, then serve it while it is still hot.
