You should see the ridiculous grin on my face right now. Hashtag hearteyedemojiface.
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.

I’ve been making these for my hubby and I for about 3 years and just had to finally leave a review. This is one of my favorite summer meals! We follow the recipe exactly and only now and again used precooked chicken or precooked rotisserie chicken. It’s perfect exactly how it is! Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoy it! Thank you for your review 🙂
Love, love this recipe. I like the flatbread a bit crisp so put it on a lightly greased foil in the oven instead of a baking sheet. I cook the flatbread for a few minutes before loading it up with the ingredients. Made it several times – and even put a bit of basil pesto on it the last time – very fun to try different versions!
