Ingredients
For the Flat Oatmeal Bread in a Pan:
- 200 g (2 cups) oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt to taste
- 50 ml (3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon) warm water
- 50 ml (3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon) milk
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
For the Garlic-Parsley Brush:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) oil
- Finely chopped parsley (about 1 tablespoon)
- Salt to taste
For the Protein Casserole with Chicken and Vegetables:
- 1 chicken breast (about 450 g / 1 lb)
- 1 medium zucchini
- 2 eggs
- 150 g (2/3 cup) quark (or substitute with ricotta or thick Greek yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) sour cream
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 120 g (1 cup) mozzarella, sliced or grated
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix 200 g oats, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Gradually add 50 ml warm water and 50 ml milk, stirring continuously to form a soft dough. If it feels too sticky, sprinkle in a little more oats until manageable but still soft.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil and knead lightly in the bowl until the dough holds together well.
- Divide the dough into small balls, then flatten each ball into a disk about 1 cm thick.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the flattened dough pieces in the pan and cook 3–4 minutes each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
- For the garlic mixture, stir 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon oil, finely chopped parsley, and salt together. Brush this over the warm flatbreads to enhance flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 200 °C (400 °F).
- Cut the chicken breast and zucchini into small pieces or slices.
- In a bowl, beat the 2 eggs, then mix in 150 g quark, 2 tablespoons sour cream, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the chicken and zucchini pieces into the egg mixture and stir well to combine evenly.
- Pour the mixture into a baking dish and spread it flat. Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly on top.
- Bake for about 40 minutes until casserole is set, the chicken is cooked through, and the top is golden brown.
Recipe Notes
- To ensure flatbread isn’t too dense, avoid adding too many extra oats; it should stay soft and pliable.
- Use a good quality non-stick pan or cast iron skillet for even bread cooking and browning.
- Let the casserole rest a few minutes after baking for easier portioning and better flavor meld.
- Fresh herbs like parsley brighten the flatbread flavor, but you can vary with chives or oregano.
