Notes
Use Pre-Cooked Chicken: Save time by using leftover or rotisserie chicken. This speeds up the prep and ensures your flatbread is topped with tender, flavorful chicken.
Don’t Overload the Toppings: Keep your toppings balanced to avoid soggy flatbread. A light hand with the cheese and toppings ensures a crispy, golden crust every time.
Bake on a Pizza Stone: For an extra crispy flatbread, bake directly on a preheated pizza stone. This helps distribute heat evenly and gives your flatbread that perfect crunch.
