Easy Entertaining: Roasted Chicken Flatbread Bar

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I had no  idea what “tailgating” was until I married a Southerner. And then, I had to learn all about tailgating food. I’m quite sure it’s considered its own food group around these parts. Anything that fits in the pit is game. And then there are dips, and sauces, and chips, and well… lots of glorious food.

This roasted chicken flatbread bar is one to add to any tailgating menu. You can roast the chicken, barbecue it, even smoke it! But once it’s cooked… the food is on!

This is exactly what I envision easy entertaining food to be. Food that can be made ahead of time, needs little maintenance throughout a party, and allows the guests to customize their serving to their liking. Of course, this also makes the best mid-week family meal! Pick up a rotisserie chicken at the store and you are good to go!

I cook whole chickens nearly every week. You could say, it’s a staple in my weekly meal plan. The recipe possibilities are endless and having roasted chicken in the fridge allows me to prepare a meal in record time! I can make soups, quesadillas, tacos, pasta bakes, burrito bowls, nacho trays, and of course, I can repurpose it for lunch!

I also used one of my favorite ingredients in a non traditional way for this recipe. Hummus dressing! Whoa. I did just say hummus and dressing in the same sentence (although I’m pretty sure my 3rd grader would correct me and say it’s an incomplete sentence). Anyways,  have to try it.

Since I’m a go-big or go-home type of gal, I had to make sure I didn’t serve a plan chicken flatbread to my guests. I’ve got toppings! I love using all the other awesome mediterranean flavors like Feta cheese, kalamata olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, an olive oil. I made a quick cucumber + tomato + onion salsa to give these a little crunch. There is no recipe really. Just mix cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, a little red onion in a bowl. Drizzle it with olive oil and a little of your favorite Italian seasoning. Viola! crunchy salsa.

Next time you barbecue or smoke a chicken think of this recipe. Doesn’t this flatbread look delicious? Come on, you know you wan to take a big bite!

    I am pretty sure winning a Big Green Egg is better than winning the lottery. For an outdoor guy like me, I could grill chickens, sausages, fish… this would help me combat the vegetarian side of my wife. It’s me and the boys!
