California Chicken Flatbread with Chipotle Ranch Sauce
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 small flatbread or naan
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ to 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or any other favorite cheese such as monterey jack or pepperjack for a spicier version)
- 1 boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and diced
- 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced or diced
- ½ red pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon packed cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 chipotle pepper with a teaspoon of adobo sauce (I buy a small can in the Mexican section of the grocery store, use what I need for a recipe and freeze the rest)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Warm olive oil in a small saucepan, then add minced garlic, cook for about 30 seconds till fragrant. remove from heat. Next, dice chicken and set aside. I also dice my bacon, avocado, bell pepper and cilantro.
- Brush flatbread with olive oil and garlic mixture. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Top with chicken, red peppers, and bacon. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until cheese is completely melted.
- While flatbread is baking, I puree together ranch dressing and chipotle with adobo sauce in a small food processor. (you can also add a dash or two of lime juice and pinch of sugar to the sauce) I place my chipotle ranch sauce in a squeeze bottle. When flatbread is finished baking , top with avocado, and cilantro. Drizzle with chipotle ranch dressing and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
