The crispiness of the grilled flatbread forms the canvas while tender, grilled chicken, smoky bacon, sweet red peppers, creamy carbonara sauce, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese create a delightful finish. Let’s begin!
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 2 large flatbreads
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 red pepper, sliced thin
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s clean and lightly oiled.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Grill them for approximately 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the grill, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper. This forms your creamy carbonara sauce.
- Place the flatbreads on the grill for about 1-2 minutes per side, just until they have grill marks and are lightly toasted.
- Remove the flatbreads from the grill, and immediately spread the creamy carbonara sauce evenly over them.
- Arrange the sliced grilled chicken, red pepper, and crumbled bacon on top of the sauced flatbreads.
- Return the flatbreads to the grill and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, with the grill lid closed. This allows the cheese sauce to melt and the toppings to heat through.
- Carefully remove the flatbreads from the grill, garnish them with chopped fresh parsley, and slice into portions.
Notes
To perfect your flatbread, pay attention to the chicken’s grill time to ensure it’s juicy and well-cooked. As the flatbreads cook quickly, have all your ingredients ready for assembly. Don’t hesitate to customize with additional toppings like sliced mushrooms, fresh spinach, or extra Parmesan cheese. This dish is a delightful blend of smokiness, creaminess, and savory goodness, making it a versatile star of any gathering. Enjoy!
