Instructions
1
Prep
Mix 240g flour, 0.5 tsp salt, 0.25 tsp baking powder. Rub in 40g lard, add 120ml warm water, knead 3 minutes until smooth. Divide dough in half, wrap both portions and rest 10 minutes. Season 320g chicken cutlets (2 cutlets) with 0.5 tsp salt and pepper, rub with 2 tbsp oil. Brush courgette ribbons and aubergine rounds from both vegetables with 2 tbsp oil and salt.

Grill 1
Heat cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat 3 minutes. Grill chicken cutlets 4 minutes per side until char-marked and internal temperature reaches 75°C. Transfer to a board to rest.

Grill 2
Grill aubergine rounds 2 minutes per side until char-marked and tender. Then grill courgette ribbons 90 seconds per side until lightly charred. Stack on a plate.

Bake
Heat a heavy dry skillet over medium-high heat 2 minutes. Roll first rested dough portion into a 22cm round, 2mm thick. Lay onto the hot pan, cook 90 seconds until brown spots appear. Flip, cook 60 seconds until pliable. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with second dough portion.

Build
Slice rested chicken across the grain into 5mm strips. Spread 60g stracchino over half of each warm piadina leaving a 1cm border. Smear 1 tbsp pesto over cheese on each. Layer aubergine, courgette, and chicken strips evenly between both piadinas. Tear basil leaves over and sprinkle flaky salt.
