Method
Chicken & Marinade
Preheat and prepare
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels so marinade adheres.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place chicken in a shallow baking dish or rimmed sheet, pour marinade over chicken and turn to coat evenly. Let sit at room temperature 10–15 minutes or refrigerate up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Roast chicken in the preheated oven for 18–25 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear (timing depends on breast thickness). Remove from oven and let rest 5–8 minutes.
Honey Mustard & Finish
While chicken rests, make the honey mustard: in a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper; taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as desired.
Assembly
Layer half of the shredded roasted chicken on each flatbread (about 8 oz chicken per flatbread if using 1 lb total), then top with 2 slices of Swiss cheese per flatbread arranged so they will melt over the warm chicken.
Top cheese with 4–6 tomato slices (enough to cover), then a generous handful (about 1 cup) of mixed salad greens.
If you want the cheese more melted, place assembled flatbreads on a baking sheet and heat in a 350°F (175°C) oven 3–5 minutes until cheese softens. Alternatively, cover with a microwave-safe lid and microwave 20–30 seconds.
