Chicken Bacon Flatbread

Football is great. I'll be watching the big game next week for sure, but I have to admit there is one part of game day I love more than than the game — the food. I'm all about game day food. Sliders, nachos, pizza, potato skins, chicken wings, chips and dips. I love it ALL. So the big question in my house is, what are we eating for the big game? And the answer is, Chicken Bacon Flatbread. Yes!

Chicken Bacon Flatbread

This recipe is combines everything I need in my life: the flavors are great, the preparation is simple, and it's actually better-for-you than most of the food I eat. Look at these great, fresh ingredients.

Chicken Bacon Flatbread Ingredients:

• 2 pieces of flatbread or naan
• 2 chicken breasts
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• Salt and pepper
• 1⁄2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
• 1⁄4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1⁄2 cup roasted red pepper strips
• 1⁄2 red onion, sliced
• 1⁄4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1⁄2 avocado, diced
• 1⁄4 cup sriracha
• 1⁄2 cup Naturally Fresh® Classic Ranch

Let’s Make It

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook and then dice your chicken into small chunks.

Brush flatbread pieces lightly with olive oil.

Spread 1⁄4 cup ranch onto flatbreads.

Top with 1⁄4 cup mozzarella cheese.

Add chicken, red pepper strips, and onion. Top with remaining cheese.

Bake in your oven for 10­-15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and melted. Remove flatbreads from oven and add cilantro and avocado. Top with sriracha to taste and add the remaining ranch.

Thomas discovered sriracha a few months ago, and since then, it's been appearing everywhere! Sriracha is yummy, but even though I like the taste, the spice is a bit much for me.

The secret to making this flatbread recipe something we can both love is using creamy Classic Ranch made with Naturally Fresh’s® own buttermilk. You'll find it in the refrigerated section of your grocery store, because it doesn't have any artificial flavors or preservatives. Thomas adds extra sriracha to his flatbread, and I add extra Classic Ranch. It's a beautiful thing.

There you have it. The perfect food for game day (or any day, really). If you are having people over for the game, you can have everyone make their own flatbread so they get exactly what they like. So fun. I think we are going to try the Naturally Fresh® Bleu Cheese next time we make this. It has chunks of aged bleu cheese mixed in with the buttermilk, and that sounds amazing.
