Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package flatbread crusts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or basil, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Dice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Mince the fresh garlic finely. If using block cheese, shred it.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Brush this garlic butter mixture evenly over each flatbread crust.
- Spread about 1/4 cup of Alfredo sauce evenly over each flatbread, leaving a small border.
- Distribute the diced chicken pieces over the sauce on each flatbread.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the chicken.
- Top with grated parmesan cheese. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or basil. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, ensure your oven is fully preheated.
- Do not overload the flatbread with Alfredo sauce to prevent sogginess.
- Using freshly grated cheese will result in a better melt.
- Experiment with adding vegetables like spinach or roasted red peppers.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
