Easy California Chicken Flatbread Recipe
INGREDIENTS –
- 1 large flatbread: You can also use Naan or homemade pizza dough for the crust/ base.
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- salt + pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded: You can also use Pepper Jack or cheddar.
- 1 cup boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and cubed. I like to use rotisserie chicken, but you can use whatever cooked chicken breasts you have on hand. Just be sure to season chicken to your liking and shred it or dice chicken it into cubes.
- 3 strips bacon, cooked + chopped: Ready-made bacon is fine to use for this recipe, but if you prefer to cook bacon yourself, sauté it in a skillet on the stove over medium heat, drain the fat, and let the bacon come to room temperature on a plate of paper towels.
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 Avocado, cubed
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing, to drizzle and dip: I prefer to make my own ranch, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Chipotle Ranch Dressing is also delicious!!
- OPTIONAL: thinly sliced red onion, chopped cilantro leaves or sliced green onions, for garnish. You can turn up the heat on this recipe by adding red pepper flakes or sriracha.
