Ingredients for Bacon Chicken Ranch Flatbread Pizza

  • Flatbread crust: Pre-made base for quick assembly, provides a sturdy foundation for toppings, and crisps up nicely in the air fryer.
  • Chicken: Adds protein and savory flavor, pairs well with ranch and bacon, and gives the flatbread a hearty topping.
  • Bacon: Brings a smoky, salty crunch, enhances the overall flavor profile, and adds a satisfying texture to the pizza.
  • Ranch dressing: Creamy and tangy base, acts as a flavor-packed sauce, and complements the chicken and bacon with its richness.
  • Mozzarella cheese: Melts beautifully, creates a gooey layer over the toppings, and adds a classic cheesy element to the flatbread.
  • Green onions: Fresh, mild onion flavor, provides a pop of color and freshness, and balances the richness of the other ingredients.

Did you know that adding a sprinkle of garlic powder to the ranch dressing can give your Ninja Foodi Bacon Chicken Ranch Flatbread Pizza an extra kick of flavor?
