Toasted flatbreads are loaded with sautéed chicken, wilted kale, and tender red onion, then blanketed in a melted duo of Monterey Jack and Italian cheese blend. A sprinkle of chili flakes adds gentle heat, and a drizzle of honey at the end brings a sweet, savory contrast that ties the whole dish together.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook Chicken & Veggies
1
  • Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.

  • Add onion and kale (for 4 servings, you may need to add kale in batches); season with salt and pepper. (TIP: If pan seems dry, add another drizzle of oil.) Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender and kale is wilted, 4-6 minutes.

Make Flatbreads
2
  • While chicken and veggies cook, place flatbreads on a baking sheet and toast on top rack until golden, 3-4 minutes. (For 4 servings, divide between two baking sheets; toast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)

  • Once flatbreads are toasted, remove sheet from oven. Evenly sprinkle flatbreads with Monterey Jack and Italian cheese blend. Top with chicken and veggies. Sprinkle with chili flakes to taste.

  • Return to top rack and bake until cheese melts, 2-4 minutes. (For 4, return to top and middle racks.) Transfer flatbreads to a cutting board.

This was even better than I expected it would be. Really liked the kale and how well it held up; kale, Italian sausage and red onion were a very good flavor combination. Some kind of a sweet drizzle would have been a nice balance - maybe balsamic glaze or hot honey.

Really tasty and simple meal. Also makes excellent leftovers! It benefits from slightly more cheese to make all the toppings adhere better, but otherwise I was very satisfied with this meal.

This was great tasting and easy to prepare. There seemed to be way more topping than necessary for the Flatbread but I just piled it on. Delicious.

We really like your flatbreads. Although the kale is more work to prepare, it was very tasty on these flatbreads - great combo!

It was very hard to eat. The photos made it kind of look like a pizza, but that's not how it came out. The flatbread was chewy rather than crunchy and the toppings fell off if you tried to pick it up. Also I thought the volume of food was too much for a serving.

Love the Italian pork sausage and the Italian chicken sausage. They are so good on the flatbreads.

I thought this was pretty good - it would be 4 stars with maybe a drizzle of ranch or honey mustard on top? I added a little ranch from my fridge and it really put this one over the top.
