Chicken Fajita Flatbread

Chicken fajita flatbread was invented with party guests in mind. If you've had chicken fajitas, there's a good chance this flatbread will make you smile. I couldn't tell you if it's good as leftovers because I've never seen any left after a party. There has been no such thing as far as I know.

Once in awhile friends drop by unexpectedly and I always head straight for the kitchen to fix something to eat. It's like a reflex. While I'm asking, 'Are you hungry?', everyone knows they're going to be fed anyway. Putting out appetizers is perfect for hanging out with friends so my table is soon filled with finger foods and appetizers like this flatbread.

Most of my get-togethers are very casual and guests like to see what I'm up to in the kitchen. Since they offer to help, I like to let them lend a hand so we can catch up while we chop, cook and bake little munchies. This flatbread is perfect for delegating if you have willing kitchen helpers. If your chicken isn't already cooked when friends stop by, you'll want to add that to the cooking time for this recipe.

Thinking about sharing this flatbread with you really made me crave it so I made some for myself and my family today. Fortunately we had help eating it! We sat and ate, some of us sipped on iced coffee, and shared some casual words about our day. Totally, totally worth it.

I like to freeze Greek flatbread pitas and take them out for recipes like this.

Are you ready to try this chicken fajita flatbread? Let's do it.

Don't forget the dips! You can dip this delicious flatbread in homemade ranch dressing or crack dip too. I mean, who doesn't love dipping their pizza, amiright?

Notes

  • If you are reading this recipe quickly to plan your preparation time, keep in mind these times are for cooked chicken. If your chicken is not already cooked, add that amount of time to this recipe so you can plan accordingly.
  • I measured about 1/2 heaping cup for each flatbread. You may have a little less or a little more depending on the size of your peppers and onion.
  • Top additional pieces of flatbread if you have any leftover mixture.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled for more flatbread.
