# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Ready in 30 minutes but tastes like it came from a wood-fired oven
  • Uses leftover chicken so nothing goes to waste
  • Customizable based on whatever vegetables you have on hand
02 -
  • Dont overload the sauce or the flatbread will get soggy in the middle
  • Let it rest for 2 minutes after baking so the cheese sets slightly for cleaner slices
03 -
  • Pre-bake the flatbread for 3 minutes before adding toppings if you want extra crunch
  • Toast the red onions in a dry pan for 5 minutes first if you prefer them softer
