I’m obsessed with 2 Ingredient Dough. All you need are two ingredients (yogurt and flour) and you can make a delicious 2 Ingredient Dough flatbread. Then, it’s a blank canvas for anything. In this case, we’re using it for the base of this Shredded Chicken And Arugula Flatbread recipe.

You can use leftover shredded chicken for this recipe if you want, but it’s actually really simple to shred chicken yourself in about ten minutes. That’s with a fresh chicken breast. If you use a frozen chicken breast, it’ll take a little longer than that. But not too much longer.

And since 2 Ingredient Dough doesn’t need to proof or rise, you can use it right away. So this gourmet looking Shredded Chicken And Arugula Flatbread can be on your dinner table quickly. Perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Shredded Chicken And Arugula Flatbread Ingredients:

• 1 chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Olive oil
• 1/2 cup shredded arugula
• 4 oz. goat cheese
• Drizzle of balsamic vinegar
• Drizzle of sriracha hot sauce (optional)

How To Make Shredded Chicken And Arugula Flatbread:

Pre-heat the oven to 350 F.

Put the chicken breast in a large pot. Fill the pot with water until it just covers the top of the chicken. Boil the water for ten minutes to cook the chicken to 165 F.

Put the cooked chicken breast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Use the whisk attachment on medium to shred the chicken (it should take about three minutes).

Sprinkle the shredded chicken with the lemon pepper seasoning. Set aside.

Now it’s time to make the flatbreads.

Combine the self-rising flour, non-fat Greek yogurt, and garlic powder to form a dough ball.

On a floured surface, kneed the dough ball for about a minute.

Cut the dough ball into four equal pieces.

Shape each piece into an circle-shaped 1/4-inch thick flatbread.

Drizzle a little olive oil into a skillet and heat the flatbread over medium heat. Heat one side for two minutes, until the flatbread starts to bubble.

Then flip and heat the other side for two minutes. Finally, heat the first side for an additional minute.

Continue until you’ve made all four flatbreads.

Put the flatbreads on a pre-heated pizza stone.

Evenly top the four flatbreads with goat cheese.

Spread the shredded chicken evenly over the flatbreads.

Bake each flatbread for 15 to 20 minutes until the flatbread is heated through and the cheese begins to melt.

When the flatbreads are cooked, add the arugula and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar on top.

Finish with an (optional) drizzle of sriracha hot sauce.

If you choose not to add a drizzle of sriracha, we suggest using balsamic glaze instead of balsamic vinegar.

Is flatbread the same as pizza?

There are two main differences between flatbreads and pizza.

First, flatbreads typically use a dough that doesn’t have yeast in it, so it doesn’t rise. That means flatbreads are a lot thinner than a traditional pizza.

And second, toppings on flatbreads are typically lighter than a pizza. So while a pizza is heavy on the sauce, cheese, and meats, flatbreads will be a lot lighter and may opt for a drizzle of a sauce rather than a complete covering.

Shredded Chicken And Arugula Flatbread Variations

If you want to make this a vegetarian flatbread recipe, you could skip the chicken and add sundried tomatoes and chopped artichokes instead. Personally, that sounds delicious to me.

If you wanted to make this a vegan flatbread recipe, you’d have a little more adjusting to you. Obviously, you’d need to skip the chicken and cheese. But you would have to eliminate the non-fat Greek yogurt too. There is vegan yogurt, but I’ve actually never tried it in 2 Ingredient Dough before, so I’m not sure how it would come out.

What are other recipes using 2 Ingredient Dough?

I’m not kidding when I tell you I’m obsessed with 2 Ingredient Dough. When I first started making it, I would make it at least once a week.

Now, I’ll make it every two or three weeks. My favorite recipes are:

• 2 Ingredient Dough Cinnamon Rolls
• 2 Ingredient Dough Pita Chips
• Heart-Shaped Pizza Recipe made with 2 Ingredient Dough
