Ingredients

  • 2 8-inch flatbreads (naan recommended)
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing (plus more for drizzle)
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)
  • ¼ cup bacon bits (crumbled fresh bacon preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425˚F and prepare a baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Place each flatbread on the baking sheet and spread about 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing evenly over each one.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the ranch-covered flatbreads.
  4. Step 4: Distribute the shredded chicken evenly on top of the cheese, then scatter the bacon bits over the chicken. Drizzle a little extra ranch dressing on top for added flavor.
  5. Step 5: Bake the flatbreads on the middle oven rack for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cheese melts and the edges of the flatbread become golden and crispy.
  6. Step 6: Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions. Slice each flatbread into 3 or 4 pieces and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

  • Use fresh cooked bacon crumbled instead of bacon bits for better texture and flavor.
  • Try swapping out the shredded chicken for cooked turkey or even steak for different protein options.
  • Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Use a flavored flatbread like garlic naan to add an extra layer of taste.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm in a preheated oven at 350˚F for 5-7 minutes to keep the crust crispy. Avoid microwaving if you want to maintain texture.
