Fattoush is a Middle-Eastern dish made with crispy chunks of flatbread and chopped vegetables. Here, we've used pitta bread, cucumber, tomato and radish, as well as juicy chicken thighs. Sumac is put to great work too – this ground spice, made from berries, has a distinct tart and zesty character that really takes the flavour of this crunchy salad to the next level.

Ingredients
- 500g chicken thighs
- 9 tbsp olive oil
- 2¾ tsp sumac
- 1 cucumber
- 6 tomatoes
- 1 romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1 bunch spring onions, finely sliced
- 200g radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 small bunch fresh mint, leaves chopped
- 1 small bunch parsley, leaves chopped
- 2 lemons, zest and juice
- ½ tsp sugar
- 2 pitta breads, or more, if you're hungy
Method
Step 1
Put the chicken thighs onto a plate and drizzle 1tbsp of oil over with 2tsp sumac and some seasoning. Massage this all over the chicken.
Step 2
Bring a large non-stick frying pan to a medium heat and cook the chicken for 5 mins each side.
Step 3
While the chicken cooks, halve the cucumber lengthways, deseed with a spoon and cut into chunks. Then quarter the tomatoes, deseed and cut into strips. Add both to a large bowl.
Step 4
When the chicken is cooked through, remove from the heat and set aside on a clean plate.
Step 5
Add the lettuce, spring onion, radish and herbs to the cucumber and tomato and mix. Next, whisk together the lemon juice and zest, 4 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp sumac and the sugar. Pour this over the salad, tossing well.
Step 6
Toast the pitta until just starting to colour, then tear it up. Fry in a non-stick frying pan with 2tbsp of oil for 1-2 mins, sprinkling over ¼ tsp of sumac. When the pitta is nice and golden, remove onto some kitchen paper and season well.
Step 7
Slice the chicken into strips and add to the salad. Finish by scattering the pitta bread pieces over the top before serving.
