  1. 1

    scallions: 4 unit, ginger: 2 thumb, mini cucumber: 2 unit
  2. 2
    Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season all over with black pepper . Heat a drizzle of cooking oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Stir in hoisin sauce , sweet soy glaze , and water (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Cook until sauce is thickened and chicken is coated, 1-2 minutes more. (Be careful—sauce may splatter a bit.)

  3. 3
    Place the scallions, ginger, and a pinch of salt in a medium heatproof bowl . While chicken cooks, heat 2 TBSP oil in a small pan over high heat until it just starts to smoke, 1-3 minutes (we recommend keeping a close eye on the pan so you can see exactly when it begins to smoke!). Turn off heat and carefully pour hot oil over scallion mixture. (Be sure to stand back while you pour that hot oil—mixture will sizzle!) Set aside until ready to serve.

    Place flatbreads upside down (dimpled sides down) on a lightly oiled, foil-lined baking sheet ; toast on top rack until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. (For 4 servings, divide flatbreads between 2 prepared sheets; toast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through toasting.)
    flatbreads: 4 unit

    When flatbreads are toasted, flip over (dimpled sides up) and top with chicken, as much sauce from the pan as you like, and mozzarella cheese . Broil or bake flatbreads on top rack until edges are golden brown, 2-4 minutes (for 4 servings, use top and middle racks; swap rack positions halfway through). (Watch carefully so flatbreads don’t burn!) Transfer flatbreads to a cutting board .
    mozzarella cheese: 1 c
