Ingredients
  

  • 1 (12-inch) pre-made flatbread or pizza crust
  • 1 cup cooked, shredded or diced chicken breast rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut!
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper or to taste

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • - Baking Sheet
  • Pizza stone
  • Medium saucepan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If your flatbread or pizza crust requires pre-baking according to package instructions, do so at this stage. Otherwise, you can place the raw crust directly on a baking sheet or pizza stone.

  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to slightly thicken.

  4. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until it's fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

  5. Add the cooked and shredded or diced chicken to the Alfredo sauce. Stir in the chopped fresh spinach. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted and the chicken is heated through.

  7. Place the assembled flatbread on the baking sheet or pizza stone in the preheated oven. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the sauce is bubbly and heated through.
  8. Carefully remove the flatbread from the oven. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftover flatbread tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Freeze for up to 1-2 months. Reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes for best results.
