Instructions
- In a large pot, combine water, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the simmering liquid and poach for about 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked. Once done, remove the chicken and let it rest.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes on a floured surface, then let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll the dough into thin circles. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
- While the flatbreads cook, shred the poached chicken.
- Serve the shredded chicken on warm flatbread, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with parsley, chives, and lemon zest.
