- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For the Flatbread
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 3/4 cup water

For the Raita

- 2 garlic cloves, grated

Instructions
For the Chicken:
- In a mixing bowl combine yogurt and spices. Toss chicken in mixture so that all pieces are evenly coated. Marinate at least 30 minutes. Heat oil in a sauté pan over high heat. Shake off excess marinade and add chicken to hot pan evenly, in two-three batches. Cook until deep brown in color, turning over once, about 10 minutes.
For the Flatbread:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment quickly mix yeast, sugar, flour, salt, and thyme. Slowly stream in water until a dough ball forms. Remove to a floured board and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place in a large bowl and rub with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and allow the dough to rise in a warm spot for about an hour. Punch it down, then form into a smooth ball. Cut into 16 pieces. Use a rolling pin to roll very thin rounds. In a dry skillet over medium-high heat cook flatbread until bubbling, then flip. Cook another 2 minutes until dough has puffed up slightly. Keep warm on a plate in a very low temperature oven.
For the Raita:
- In a mixing bowl combine all ingredients, seasoning to taste.
To Assemble Tacos:
- Assemble tacos with chicken first, drizzled with lots of garlicky raita.
