  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan-forced. For the chicken, combine the yoghurt, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, spices, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the diced chicken and toss to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the flatbread dough. If you have time, marinate for 30 minutes or up to overnight for maximum flavour.
  2. For the flatbreads, combine the flour, baking powder and yoghurt in a mixing bowl. Stir to combine, then use your hands to bring the dough together. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes, or until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
  3. Place the sliced lemon on a baking tray and arrange the marinated chicken on top. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is nearly cooked through. Switch the oven to the grill setting, and grill for 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is golden.
  4. To complete the flatbreads, divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and flatten with a rolling pin. Preheat a grill pan over medium heat and cook the flatbreads for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they begin to puff and develop grill lines. Combine the garlic, melted butter and parsley in a small bowl and brush over the cooked flatbreads.
  5. For the herbed yoghurt, combine the Greek yoghurt, lemon juice, dill, parsley and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  6. To serve, arrange the chopped cucumber, pickled onions, extra dill and parsley, and pomegranate seeds over the chicken tray bake. Dollop with herbed yoghurt and serve with lime wedges and the warm flatbreads on the side.
