Ingredients

1 cup dried currants
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cardamom
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 4-pound cooked rotisserie chicken
1/2 cup (about) chicken stock
2 cups diced cored tomatoes
1 cup chopped pitted green olives
1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/2 cup olive oil plus more for brushing
2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
Kosher salt
2 cups plain Greek-style yogurt
1/4 cup (or more) harissa
6 flatbreads, such as pita
Ingredient info: Find harissa paste at specialty foods stores.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place currants in a small bowl. Pour hot water over to cover by 1". Set aside.

    Step 2

    Whisk coriander, cardamom, and cinnamon in another small bowl for spice mix. Drain any juices from chicken into a measuring cup. Add enough chicken stock to cup to measure 3/4 cup. Pour into a large bowl. Coarsely shred chicken (discard skin and bones); add to bowl with juices. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons spice mix over; toss to coat.

    Step 3

    Combine tomatoes, olives, almonds, 1/2 cup oil, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Drain currants; add to tomato relish. Season relish to taste with salt. Add half of relish to chicken mixture. Set remaining relish aside.

    Step 4

    Whisk yogurt and harissa in another small bowl to blend. Season to taste with salt and more harissa, if desired.

    Step 5

    Preheat broiler. Brush flatbreads with oil. Broil until charred in spots, watching closely to prevent burning, 1-2 minutes per side.

    Step 6

    Arrange chicken mixture, relish, harissa yogurt, and bread on table so your guests can assemble sandwiches.
