## EXPERT TIPS FOR SUCCESS
- **Pro tips**: For an extra crispy flatbread, ensure your skillet is hot before adding the dough.
- **Common mistakes to avoid**: Don't overcook the flatbread; it should be light and flexible, not stiff.
- **Equipment recommendations**: A non-stick skillet works best for ensuring the flatbreads don’t stick.
## VARIATIONS & SUBSTITUTIONS
- **Dietary adaptations**: Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option or swap cottage cheese with ricotta for a creamier texture.
- **Ingredient swaps**: Replace the chicken with tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian version.
- **Flavor variations**: Add spices like cumin or paprika to the chicken for an enhanced flavor profile.
## STORAGE & MAKE-AHEAD
