Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing spoon or spatula
  • Cheese grater (if shredding cheese fresh)

Ingredients

  • 2 large flatbreads
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ red bell pepper diced
  • ¼ yellow bell pepper diced
  • ¼ onion chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 cup cooked bacon chopped
  • 2 cups Italian cheese blend
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • Ranch dressing for drizzling

Instructions

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F.
  • Mince the garlic, dice the bell peppers, chop the onion, and cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces and set everything aside.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the chicken pieces and season them with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the minced garlic, peppers, and onions to the skillet. Continue cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
  • The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F and should no longer be pink in the center.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Place the flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush or drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the flatbreads. This helps create a crispy, golden crust during baking.
  • Sprinkle about half of the Italian cheese blend evenly across both flatbreads.
  • Adding a layer of cheese directly onto the crust creates a protective barrier that helps prevent sogginess from the toppings.
  • Evenly distribute the cooked chicken mixture over both flatbreads.
  • Sprinkle the chopped bacon over the chicken.
  • Add the fresh spinach leaves.
  • Finish by topping everything with the remaining cheese.
  • The layers should look colorful and generously covered without overloading the flatbread.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
  • Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
  • The edges of the flatbread should become lightly golden and crisp.
  • Remove the flatbread pizzas from the oven.
  • Allow them to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing.
  • Drizzle ranch dressing over the top just before serving.
  • Slice into portions and enjoy while hot.

Notes

Helpful Tips for Success: 
  • Use Freshly Shredded Cheese - It melts more smoothly and evenly than pre-shredded varieties.
  • Don't Overload the Flatbread - Adding too many toppings can make the crust soggy. Keep the toppings balanced for the best texture.
  • Cook Bacon Ahead of Time - Preparing bacon in advance can save time during busy weeknight meal prep.
  • Add Ranch After Baking - Drizzling ranch dressing after the pizza comes out of the oven preserves its creamy texture and fresh flavor.
  • Make It Spicy - Add crushed red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños for extra heat.
  • Try Different Proteins - This recipe works wonderfully with:
    • Shrimp
    • Steak strips
    • Rotisserie chicken
    • Turkey bacon
    • Pulled pork
  • Add More Vegetables -
    • Mushrooms
    • Red onions
    • Tomatoes
    • Black olives
    • Banana peppers
  • Use Different Cheeses -
    • Mozzarella
    • Monterey Jack
    • Cheddar
    • Provolone
    • Smoked Gouda
  • Storage and Reheating - Store leftover pizza in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating - For best results, reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 to 7 minutes or in an air fryer for 3 to 4 minutes. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can soften the flatbread crust.
