Roasted garlic ricotta chicken flatbread made with creamy ricotta, tender chicken, and sweet roasted garlic layered on a crisp flatbread base for an easy, restaurant-style meal at home.

Ingredients

  • 2 flatbreads or naan breads
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or chopped)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 whole garlic bulb
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme or basil (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice the top off the garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30–35 minutes until soft and golden.
  3. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves into a bowl and mash into a smooth paste.
  4. Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  5. Place flatbreads on the tray and spread ricotta evenly over each.
  6. Mix roasted garlic paste into the shredded chicken, then layer it over the ricotta.
  7. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan evenly on top.
  8. Season with salt, black pepper, and thyme.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are crisp and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh basil or chili flakes, slice, and serve.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken works well for quick preparation.
  • Roasting garlic in advance saves time on busy days.
  • For extra crispiness, bake directly on a preheated pizza stone or hot tray.
  • Do not overload toppings to keep the flatbread crisp.
  • Honey drizzle or caramelized onions can add a sweet-savory balance.
