Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  3. Stir in apple cider vinegar and remove from heat.

Step 4: Assemble the Flatbread

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).

  3. Spread a generous layer of Alfredo sauce over each flatbread.
  4. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan evenly.
  5. Add crispy chicken pieces on top.

Step 5: Bake
