Olive Garden Grilled Chicken Flatbread
Description
The Olive Garden Grilled Chicken Flatbread layers sliced grilled chicken breast on a flatbread base rubbed with cut garlic for flavor. Alfredo sauce spreads over the chicken, adding creamy richness. Grilled red peppers offer a smoky sweetness and tender texture, placed both under and atop the melted mozzarella cheese after baking. Fresh chopped basil sprinkled at the end adds a bright, herbaceous finish.
Baking at 350 degrees allows the mozzarella to melt smoothly and blend with the sauce and chicken, creating a cohesive, creamy topping while slightly crisping the flatbread underneath. The preparation includes grilling the red peppers under the broiler to char the skin, which is then peeled to reveal a smoky-sweet layer.
This flatbread can be served as a casual lunch, light dinner, or appetizer. Its combination of creamy, savory, and herb flavors balances well with the tender texture of the chicken and the crusty flatbread base.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces flatbread
- 1/2 pound chicken breast
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 red pepper grilled
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup basil chopped, fresh
- 1 garlic clove
Instructions
- Prepare Alfredo sauce.
- Season chicken breast with salt and pepper and place in a skillet over medium-low heat with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Cook chicken breast for about 6 minutes on one side, flip over and cook chicken breast on the other side, this should take about 5 to 6 minutes. Slice chicken breast into small slices.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel garlic clove, cut in half, and rub the cut garlic clove over the flatbread.
- Place cooked chicken breast slices onto flatbread, coat the bread with Alfredo sauce, top with half of the grilled red peppers, and sprinkle over mozzarella cheese on top of everything. Place into the oven and heat until the mozzarella cheese melts, this should take 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven, top with remaining grilled red peppers, and add chopped basil before serving.
How to Grill a Pepper in the Oven
- Preheat broiler. Lightly coat the red pepper with olive oil. Grill peppers under the broiler until the skin turns black and the pepper softens slightly. Place the pepper into a paper bag to cool for approximately 20 minutes, and then peel off the blackened skin.
How to Grill a Pepper on a Gas Stovetop
- Turn your flame on high, and with metal tongs place the pepper on the gas burner, flip over once one side is blackened, continue to do so until the entire pepper has been blackened. Place the pepper into a paper bag to cool for approximately 20 minutes and then peel off the blackened skin.
