  • Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread Recipe

Why does dinnertime always sneak up on us?! There have been so many times that I’m just chugging along with my day and, suddenly, it’s 5 p.m. … and I have no idea what to make. Luckily, this chicken bacon ranch flatbread is the perfect recipe for nights like that! 

I’m a huge fan of flatbread pizza because all I need are some flatbreads (like naan, which I always keep stocked in my freezer), cheese, and toppings. Flatbread pizza makes pizza night super easy, but I definitely think it’s best for those busy days when I don’t have plan and we all just need dinner, fast.

Why I LOVE this recipe!

  • Super easy – It really is the easiest recipe for getting lunch or dinner on the table quick!
  • Family-friendly – With kid-friendly ingredients (that adults love too!) these flatbreads are a hit with everyone.
  • Customizable – Because of the small portion sizes, these Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbreads are easy to customize to everyone’s tastes. Make it a pizza-making night and everyone can assemble their own!
  • Perfect for leftovers – If you have leftover chicken and/or bacon, you’re one step closer to Bacon Chicken Ranch Flatbread!

Recipe Notes

This Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread recipe is as simple as promised! Just 20 minutes total prep and cook time for a family friendly meal.

In this section I am going to go through a few tips and tricks I use for how to make Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread to get the absolute best and most delicious results.

Make sure to scroll to the bottom for the FULL recipe card.

Ingredients + Substitutions

Ingredients for chicken bacon ranch flatbread on a baking sheet.
  • Flatbread – You’ll want two 8-inch or so flatbreads. I like to use naan, but pita or another type of flatbread will work, too.
  • Ranch dressing – Use homemade ranch dressing or buy your favorite brand of ranch at the store.
  • Mozzarella cheese – Low-moisture mozzarella is best. Pre-shredded or mozzarella you shred yourself will both work. Though, keep in mind that sometimes the pre-shredded cheese doesn’t melt quite as well as cheese you shred yourself.
  • Cheddar cheese – Choose mild, medium, or sharp, depending on how strong you like your cheddar to taste.
  • Chicken – You’ll want to use shredded cooked chicken. You can use chicken leftovers, my Perfect Baked Chicken Breast recipe, or even rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.
  • Bacon bits – I recommend making your own homemade bacon bits for the best flavor and texture.
  • Green onions – Chopped green onions add a bit of fresh onion flavor and green garnish to your baked bacon chicken ranch flatbread. They might be labeled as “scallions” at your store – same thing.

Make sure to see the recipe card at the bottom of this post for the full quantities and ingredients list.

Recipe Variations

If you love this recipe as much as we do and want some quick ways to change it up for variety, these little tips will do the trick!

  • Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread with Extra Veggies– Top the flatbread pizza with thinly sliced red onion and green bell pepper before baking.
  • Jalapeño Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread– Spread the flatbread with my jalapeño ranch dressing, then top the baked pizza with pickled or fresh sliced jalapeños and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for a flatbread pizza that brings the heat!
  • Family-Size Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza– This recipe can easily be adapted to one large pizza by adding the toppings to a large pizza crust. Note that the baking time will be a bit longer.

Recipe Step by Step

I am going to highlight a few key steps in the recipe here, but make sure to jump down to the recipe card for comprehensive instructions on how to make Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread.

Bake until the flatbread is golden around the edges and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with green onion, cut into wedges, and serve.

Recipe Tips

  1. Use a sturdy flatbread – A thick, sturdy flatbread helps insure your flatbread pizza that doesn’t fall apart. Naan is perfect.
  2. Adjust quantities – It’s easy to adjust the quantities for this simple flatbread recipe. Make it for just one person, or multiply for a crowd.
  3. Cook at high heat – For this recipe, I’ve set the heat at 425°F, nice and high so that the flatbread crisps up. At a lower heat, it runs the risk of getting soggy.

Recipe Short Cuts

If you need to make this recipe, but are extra short on time, here are a few ideas that can help make this recipe even faster!

  • Use rotisserie chicken – I LOVE easy recipes using rotisserie chicken and this flatbread is no exception! Pick one up at the store and you’ve got delicious, juicy, cooked chicken at the ready for this recipe – and likely enough left over for other meals, too!
  • Use store-bought ranch – Homemade ranch is great, but if you’re short on time, a bottle of store-bought dressing is just fine!
  • Make use of leftovers – Save leftover bacon and leftover chicken from a previous meal and, voila! You’ve got your toppings ready for this chicken bacon ranch flatbread recipe.

What to Serve with Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread

Since this protein based dinner has the delicious flavors of chicken and bacon, it will pair well with many of your favorite chicken side dishes.

Choose one or several of these side dishes to create a wholesome, well-rounded dinner. There are both classic options and some healthy options to keep it light.

Side Dish Ideas

  • Creamy Southern Coleslaw – The crunch of cabbage teamed up with a sweet and creamy sauce makes the perfect companion to these flatbread pizzas.
  • Arugula Pear Salad – Fresh, juicy pears and peppery arugula come together in a full-of-flavor green salad that’s a refreshing side dish option.
  • Italian House Salad – An easy, yummy side salad that’s a natural for serving alongside any pizza.
  • Garlic Roasted Vegetables – An array of tender veggies highlighted with garlic flavors helps add nutrients to your meal, deliciously.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread Leftovers

If you have leftovers after making this recipe, then it is your lucky day! They save and reheat well, and can make the start of another delicious dish.

To save leftovers, separate into meal sized portions and then place in an airtight container and store:

  • in the refrigerator for 3-4 days

To reheat, place in a 350°F oven until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Recipe FAQ’s

What is the difference between flatbread and pizza?

Traditional pizza calls for a yeasted dough that is baked along with the toppings, while a flatbread pizza uses an already-baked flatbread like naan or pita breads for a quick and easy pizza crust substitute.

How best to cook chicken for pizza?

You always want to cook chicken before using it as a pizza topping. You can cook it any number of ways, whether cooking a whole rotisserie chicken or baking chicken breasts.

How many calories are in Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread?

Our nutrition estimate for 1/2 of a chicken bacon ranch flatbread pizza is around 350 calories.

    Was looking for a quick and easy dinner when I found this recipe. I used can chicken because that’s what I had on hand. I also added some red onion because I didn’t have green. A few jalapeños on top and dinner was served. This is a definite keeper. Very good as well as quick and easy.
