The barbeque season is upon us and the other day I cleaned and made my Weber gas grill ready.
Then I made adelicious meal with Chili and paprika marinaded chicken filets with homemade yoghurt flatbread, tzatsiki and a simple tomato and feta salad. Homemade flatbread taste awesome and is easy both to make and grill. As I said I use a gas grill, if you use one with charcoals, be aware so the don`t burn. You can also fry them in a fryingpan with a little oil if you like. This recipe/meal is for 3 servings.
