Notes
- Always use freshly grated cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that prevent it from melting smoothly.
- Chicken can be substituted with pulled pork or beef or roasted peppers and onions for a meatless option.
- Bake the flatbread directly on the rack for a crisp crust.
- Some ingredients can be prepped beforehand, but wait to assemble until you are ready to bake the flatbreads.
- Leftovers should be stored in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat them in a 350℉ oven until warm.
