Ingredients
  

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1/2 cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

4 medium-sized flatbreads (pita or naan)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and ensure they are thoroughly coated in the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to develop deeper flavors.

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil to the skillet or grill pan. Place the marinated chicken breasts in the skillet or on the grill. Cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once done, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.

      Prepare the Flatbreads: While the chicken rests, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the flatbreads on a baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced adequately apart. Spread a thin, even layer of ranch dressing over each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges to help contain the toppings.

        Assemble the Flatbreads: Evenly distribute the chopped spinach, sliced chicken strips, shredded mozzarella cheese, and halved cherry tomatoes across each flatbread, ensuring each one is generously topped.

          Bake: Transfer the assembled flatbreads to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown, and the flatbreads are crispy.

            Garnish and Serve: Once baked, carefully remove the flatbreads from the oven. For an added touch of flavor and color, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top. Slice the flatbreads into individual servings and serve hot for an irresistible meal!
