Cajun Chicken Flatbread makes the perfect fun and easy dinner, appetizer, or football party food. A cajun garlic aioli sauce with all of your favorite toppings.
I LOVE inventing new pizza recipes. Coming up with fun and different sauce ideas and topping ideas. Some of my favorites include:
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!

Have you tried this recipe?!
RATE and COMMENT below! I would love to hear your experience.
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?
Hi Julie,
I bake mine directly on the oven rack so the crust gets crispy on the bottom!
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!
oh man, if you have never cooked with Herbs de Provence you are missing out. Next time should try it this this seasoning
I mixed my own herbs due Province using recipe I found on web.
Looks great, I’m making this tonight!
