Ingredients:
For the Flatbread Base:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Beef Topping:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Optional: 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Flatbread Base:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Transfer the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands or a spatula, press the mixture into a flat, even layer, about 1/4-inch thick, forming a rectangular or circular shape resembling a flatbread.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the flatbread is golden brown and cooked through. The edges should be slightly crispy.
- Prepare the Beef Topping:
- While the flatbread is baking, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is fully browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. If there’s excess grease, drain it off.
- Taste the beef mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Assemble the Flatbread:
- Once the flatbread base is baked, remove it from the oven. Evenly spread the cooked ground beef over the flatbread.
- If you’d like to add cheese, sprinkle it over the beef topping.
- Return the assembled flatbread to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Slice the flatbread into squares or wedges. Serve hot and enjoy the hearty, meaty goodness of this carnivore dish.
