I made this California chicken flatbread a few weeks ago for lunch. I would have shared it for my husband, I really would have, but he was at work and even though I told myself I was going to save half and give it to him when he got home, somehow it just didn’t last that long.
I ate half for lunch, then put the rest in a tupperware in the fridge…..
for about eight seconds.
Well I tried. That counts for something right??
And I can always whip it up for him another time since it only took thirty minutes start to finish. Easy breezy California chicken cheesy flatbread with avocado and bacon. And chipotle ranch.
It’s HEAVEN.
What people are saying about this California Chicken Flatbread with Chipotle Ranch Sauce
“I just made this tonight for dinner. And OMG!!! Was absolutely amazing! I like to try things off pinterest and if I like it, I put it in my recipe book. And this is DEFINITELY goin in there!! I added serrano peppers as well, as I like my food spicy.” – Jen
“Made this for my husband and son last night. It was really good. I marinated the chicken in teriyaki sauce all day, then I followed the recipe. To make it a bit “healthier” I think I would try eliminating the bacon and possibly adding another vegetable on top. I used whole wheat naan bread. Yummy recipe!” – JKS
“ABSOLUTELY TO DIE FOR, I had to make 2 to share with my husband of course, but like you I could of just as easily eaten this all by myself. I softened the red pepper in fry pan, and I did not use red pepper flakes or Chipotle sauce, I followed the rest of the recipe to a tee, and drizzled ranch dressing right from the bottle , it was delicious! I am a health conscious cook and this is going to the top of my chicken, carb recipes, thanks for a great dinner/snack.” – Healthy
“Made this for my husband and I for lunch, it was soooo good. We made it on 2 green style pitas and used southwest chipotle as the dressing but otherwise followed exactly and it was AMAZING. Definetely a keeper!” – Michelle
