Servings: 4 Servings
Calories: 395kcal
Ingredients
- 16 oz Frozen Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Chunks*
- 1/4 cup 56g Calabrian Chili Peppers**
- 2 Tablespoons 42g Honey
- 1 Tablespoon 15g Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 Flatbreads I used Atoria's Lavash
- 2/3 cup 170g Marinara
- 4 oz Fresh Mozzarella
- Fresh Basil and Grated Parmesan for serving
Instructions
- Make the Calabrian chicken. Air fry or bake the chicken according to the instructions on its packaging. Mix the Calabrian peppers, honey, and balsamic vinegar together to make a sauce. Chop the cooked chicken and toss it with the sauce.
- Assemble the flatbreads. Place the flatbreads on a half sheet pan and spread the marinara on the flatbreads in an even layer. Add the sauced chicken on top and fill in the gaps with pinches of the mozzarella.
- Bake the flatbreads. Bake for 12-15 minutes in a 400ºF oven until the cheese melts and the flatbreads begin to slightly brown around the edges. (You can also air fry them if they fit inside your air fryer.)
- Serve. Garnish with fresh basil, parmesan, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar or honey, if desired. Slice each flatbread into 6 pieces and serve.
Notes
*Chicken substitutes. I tested this recipe with both Kirkland Signature and Just Bare frozen chicken breast bites. You can use other brands like Perdue or Tyson. Or if you'd rather use fresh chicken breast or thighs, dice the chicken and season with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Air fry or bake to fully cook the chicken then toss it with the sauce before assembling the flatbreads.
**I tested both Divina chopped Calabrian peppers and Trader Joe's Italian Bomba Calabrian Chili Sauce. Both are quite spicy. If you're spice sensitive you may want to reduce by 1-2 tablespoons and/or use a bit more honey.
