Best ways to enjoy it
This Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread is delicious on its own, but why not take it up a notch? Consider serving it with a side salad for some freshness, or pair it with crispy sweet potato fries to create a fun meal that everyone will love. You could also offer a variety of dipping sauces on the side to cater to different tastes!
Keeping leftovers fresh
If you happen to have leftovers (though I doubt it!), you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop the flatbread back in the oven or an air fryer until warm. If you want to enjoy this dish later, you can freeze the flatbread before baking it. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. When you’re ready to enjoy it, bake from frozen, adding a few more minutes to the cooking time.
Helpful cooking tips
- For extra flavor, you can brush the flatbread with olive oil before adding the ranch dressing.
- Don’t skimp on the cheese! The gooeyness is part of what makes this dish so comforting.
- If you like a kick, consider adding jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce before serving.

Feel free to customize your Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread. Try using different dressings, like blue cheese or a spicy jalapeño ranch.
