Ingredients

For preparing lavash cups

1 Joseph's Flax, Oat Bran & Whole Wheat Lavash
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Salt to season

For cucumber tomato relish

½ cup English or Persian cucumber, quartered lengthwise and diced
½ cup grape tomatoes, quartered or halved, depending on size
½ tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to season

For chicken

1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive olive
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 cup rotisserie chicken, shredded into smaller chunks
Salt and pepper to season

To finish (optional)

4 tablespoons tzatziki or hummus (for ½ tablespoon dollop on top of each cup) - optional
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped - optional

Instructions

Make lavash cups: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil on lavash bread. Fold lavash in half, lengthwise. Unfold lavash and use a pizza cutter or knife to cut lavash in half at folding point. Then, cut each half into 4 similar-size pieces, for a total of 8 lavash pieces. Center each lavash piece over the middle of each muffin well and lightly press into muffin well until it holds in a cup form. Lightly sprinkle each lavash cup with kosher or garlic salt. Bake in the oven for 4 or 5 minutes until lightly crisp and golden. Check on them often as they can quickly burn.
Make relish: In a small bowl, combine ½ tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, chopped cucumber and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds before adding Italian seasoning and shredded rotisserie chicken. Stir until well combined and chicken is warmed. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Lightly squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top.
Finish cups: After lavash cups have cooled, spoon chicken mixture into cups until half full. After, fill cups with the cucumber tomato relish. Spoon a dollop of tzatziki or hummus on top. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley as desired. Serve immediately.
