Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 2 flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for baking the flatbreads.
- Prepare the Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Brush each flatbread with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the surface to season the base.
- Add Toppings: Evenly distribute the shredded or diced cooked chicken across each flatbread. Next, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken layer. Follow by adding halved cherry tomatoes and thinly sliced red onions evenly.
- Bake the Flatbreads: Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and the flatbreads turn crispy.
- Add Avocado and Serve: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and allow them to cool for a minute. Top with sliced or mashed ripe avocado. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired. Slice the flatbreads and serve warm for the best flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados for the best texture and flavor.
- Substitute mozzarella with a dairy-free cheese for a vegan option (though the recipe as given is not vegan).
- Balsamic glaze is optional but adds a nice tangy sweetness to balance the rich avocado and cheese.
- Leftover flatbreads can be stored in the fridge and reheated in a toaster oven to retain crispiness.
- Adjust seasoning as per taste, and you can add a pinch of chili flakes for some heat.
