Ever wander what to do with leftover dinner ingredients? Look no further. This Instant Pot Thai Chicken Flat Bread is the perfect end of the week dinner to clean out your fridge.
In honor of Earth day, this month’s recipe redux challenge is to show how we reduce food waste. I LOVE this topic because many of my recipes come from using left over food. I hate throwing away scraps of food and leftover meals. It’s like throwing money down the drain- no one wants to do that!
Typically, I toss all of my leftover scraps in a wok and make an end of the week stir fry. As delicious as my random concoctions are, I thought I’d change it up a bit.
My most popular recipe is my Instant Pot Chicken Teriyaki. It’s quick, healthy, and most importantly tasty! It has become a staple for me and my roomie. I’ve gotta say, this flat bread take it to a whole new level. This insanely delicious recipe was made from the week’s leftovers. Don’t believe me? I’ll break down my menu. I put the ingredients used in the flat bread in parenthesis.
Monday- Kale Taco Salad (kale)
Tuesday- My Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken +Quinoa + green beans (chicken)
Wednesday- One Pan Chicken and Roasted Veggies ( carrots and onions)
Thursday- Chicken from my one pan chicken topped with sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella cheese + massaged kale salad (mozzarella cheese and kale)
Friday- Instant Pot Thai Chicken Flat Bread

I don’t have an instant pot but I love this recipe! I really need to try making my own flatbread–this sounds awesome!
Thank you so much Farrah! You could easily make the chicken in a slow cooker 🙂 I love making flat breads with my leftovers! So easy!
Can you clarify the ingredients? Is “Thai sauce” made from the ingredients that follow? Or is its own ingredient? If so, how much… and what kind! (I don’t eat a lot of Thai but I am willing to try… plus the teriyaki chicken recipe was so good and so easy!).
Glad you like the Teriyaki chicken recipe! 🙂 The flat bread is super easy too. Yes, the Thai sauce is made from the ingredients that follow. Just simply mix them all together and top your flat bread with it. Let me know if you have any more questions. Happy to help!
