Cajun Chicken Flatbread | Tastes Better From Scratch

I've had the idea for a Cajun Chicken Flatbread for a while, it was just a matter of getting the sauce right. I ended up with a sort of cajun-style garlic aioli sauce. I lathered it on the base of the flatbread and drizzled some on top too. WOW.

The whole combination of flavors in this pizza knocked our socks off! I bought my flatbread (but you could make it on my favorite homemade pizza crust). This is the perfect kind of football party food– I can't wait to make it again this weekend!

I made this but found the aioli was too salty. Used another aioli sauce and it turned out great. Can this be made the day before?
Thanks

Yes! You can make the flatbread a day ahead, but for best results, store the components separately. Prep the chicken, veggies, and aioli and refrigerate. Assemble and bake fresh for the best texture!

I made this after my daughter recommended the recipe. Delicious. I used naan bread because flatbread was not available in my grocery store.

Rave. Due to weather, I had to cook chicken on stovetop. I followed that with peppers and onions in same pan for a bit. Flatbread is not always available to me, but I know this would be great on pizza crust as well. I wouldn’t sweat it if I ran out of avocados either (someone often sneaks mine).

Lauren, do you bake yours directly on the oven rack or in a sheet pan?

Made these for dinner tonight and they were amazing. I didn’t have (or even know what it was) Herbes de Provence so I just left it out and I thought the sauce was awesome!
