CALIFORNIA CHICKEN FLATBREAD WITH CHIPOTLE RANCH SAUCE

INGREDIENTS:
-PREMADE (FRESH) PIZZA DOUGH
-1 1/2 CUPS SHREDDED PEPPER JACK CHEESE
-1 CHICKEN BREAST, COOKED & CHOPPED (I MADE MINE IN A PAN ON THE STOVE)
-3 SLICES BACON, COOKED & CHOPPED
-1/2 AVOCADO DICED
-1/2 RED BELL PEPPER DICED
-HANDFUL OF CHOPPED CILANTRO
-1/2 CUP RANCH DRESSING
-CHIPOTLE SEASONING
-OLIVE OIL

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Roll out pizza dough until it is flat and smoothed out (I used a non-stick sheet tray and formed the flatbread into that shape for baking). Place dough in oven for 3-4 minutes until it has firmed up. Brush dough with olive oil.
2. Top with pepper jack, chicken, red pepper and bacon. Place back into oven and cook for another 10-12 minutes until dough is completely cooked and golden brown.
3. Mix together ranch dressing and chipotle seasoning, start off with a small teaspoon and add more as you go depending on how spicy you want it. (I used Spice Islands brand). Top pizza with chopped cilantro and avocado pieces. Drizzle sauce on top.

CHICKEN POT PIE

Okay, so first things first- this is by far one of my favorite things I have EVER made. It. Is. Delicious. And all cheesiness aside, this recipe really does require a lot of love and extra steps so it's going to be a little longer & more detailed than most of my other ones. I know how unappealing a ton of reading can be before getting to what everyone actually wants (the recipe) so I will try to keep it as short as possible without leaving anything out. But please read everything for the best results!
