Why this recipe works

This recipe layers simple ingredients to achieve restaurant-quality flavor in a short amount of time. Rubbing garlic directly onto the flatbread adds subtle savoriness without overpowering the toppings. The Alfredo sauce provides a creamy base that pairs perfectly with mild chicken and roasted peppers. Baking the assembled flatbread melts the mozzarella and gives the crust a lightly crisp texture. Adding fresh basil after baking brightens the rich flavors and creates a balanced final dish.

Ingredients

Here’s a list of what you need:

Flatbread Toppings

  • Flatbread – Serves as the crisp, sturdy base
  • Chicken breast – Adds hearty protein and mild flavor
  • Alfredo sauce – Brings creaminess and richness
  • Grilled red pepper – Adds sweetness and light smoky flavor
  • Mozzarella cheese – Melts into a gooey, golden topping
  • Fresh basil – Adds bright herbal freshness
  • Garlic clove – Infuses subtle garlic flavor into the crust

    Peel- to take the skins off vegetables.
    peal- the large flat board (it looks like a large spatula) that takes pizzas out of the oven.
    Sorry, I am a bit of a grammar Nazi, more and more I see this word used wrong in blogs, surprising, since you seem to know a lot about food and food prep.
