Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread (for one)

Ingredients

Scroll down to the chicken bacon ranch flatbread recipe card for the amounts of each ingredient, but here's a quick visual + description of what's in this recipe.

• Flatbread: or use whatever you prefer. You can use naan, a tortilla, or other premade flatbread/pizza crust.
• Chicken
• Ranch: This is your pizza sauce, use one you really like.
• Mozzarella cheese: choose a low moisture mozzarella that is, or can be shredded.
• Bacon: Cook until crispy before adding to your chicken bacon ranch pizza. When it's crispy, it breaks apart very easily.
• Green onions: add green onions if you have them or could use them in other recipes. The bright, onion flavor is delicious with the creamy and salty flavors of the other toppings.

Instructions

Scroll down to the chicken bacon ranch flatbread recipe card for more detailed instructions. Here's a quick overview + photos to see how to make this recipe in general.

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. To make your chicken bacon ranch flatbread, start by placing flatbread (or similar for crust) on a small (¼) baking sheet. I like to use a baking mat or parchment on my baking sheet to make clean-up easier.

3. Spread ranch dressing over flatbread, leaving about ½ inch around edges for the crust.

4. Then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over ranch dressing.

5. Distribute chicken and bacon over mozzarella. Add additional toppings, if desired.

6. Bake flatbread at 400 for 8-10 minutes, until crust is browned and cheese is bubbly. Top your chicken bacon ranch flatbread with freshly sliced green onion or cilantro.

7. Slice flatbread and serve as a main dish by itself or with a simple salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-5 days, or until smell changes.

Serve with

You don't have to serve this pizza with anything else, I usually eat it by itself, but here are a few sides that would go well with it.

• Tender Air Fryer Broccolini
• Pickled Dill Carrots
• Warm Kale Salad for One
• Apple Cucumber Salad

Storage/Reheating Tips

Store leftover chicken bacon ranch flatbread in an airtight container in the fridge, for about a week.

To reheat, cook in the broiler, toaster oven for a few minutes (watching close) or microwave, covered for 45 seconds -2 minutes, depending on microwave.

Substitutions/Tips

• Don't have flatbread? Use a pita, naan, a small batch of homemade pizza dough, or small pre-made pizza dough. They won't all taste the same, but all are delicious easy options.
• I use Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch powder and add mayo + milk/buttermilk (depending on what I have). It's my favorite, use your favorite ranch in this chicken bacon ranch flatbread recipe.
• Chicken: Use leftover rotisserie chicken, pan fried chicken, or boiled chicken for this flatbread pizza. You can use any chicken (preferably plain, but simple seasoning is ok).
• Cheese: This chicken bacon ranch flatbread recipe calls for mozzarella cheese, but you can substitute cheddar or use a mix of mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan.
• Other great toppings: Thawed corn kernels, thin sliced red onion, thin sliced zucchini, sliced mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, green pepper, other vegetables would all be great on this chicken bacon ranch flatbread.
