High Protein Chicken Flatbread

If youโ€™ve made my chicken crust pizza before, this is her sandwich era.
Same base, same protein-packed magic โ€” just pressed thinner and baked into a flatbread you can actually hold, slice, and stack.

Itโ€™s sturdy enough for sandwiches, gluten-free, and way more filling than regular bread. Once you try this, wraps and buns might feel a littleโ€ฆ pointless.

Simple Ingredients You Need For The High Protein Chicken Flatbread

You will need the full ingredient list below to make this high-protein meal (the exact measurements, nutrition facts, macros and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post):

  • Ground chicken โ€“ Lean works best and keeps the flatbread sturdy.
  • Eggs โ€“ Help bind everything together.
  • Parmesan cheese โ€“ Adds flavour and helps it crisp.
  • Garlic powder โ€“ Savoury without overpowering.
  • Italian seasoning โ€“ Classic flavour that works with any sandwich fillings.
  • Salt & black pepper โ€“ Donโ€™t skip these.
  • Everything you need to build your sandwich – light mayonnaise, mustard, ranch, pickled red onion, mozzarella cheese or pepper jack cheese, turkey breast, chicken breast, salami, tomato, lettuce, banana pappers, etc.

How To Make

  1. Preheat oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, eggs, parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
  3. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and press into a thin, even rectangle. I spread mine out to the full length of my baking sheet 15×11″.
  4. Bake for 28โ€“32 minutes, until golden, firm, and fully cooked through.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
  6. Cut into 6 flatbread pieces and use as sandwich bread.
  7. Build your sandwich with all the toppings you like. I like using light mayo, mustard, sliced turkey, salami, mozzarella cheese, tomato, lettuce, pickled red onions and banana peppers.

Tips And Tricks For Best Results

  • Press the mixture thin so it bakes evenly.
  • Let it cool before cutting โ€” it firms up as it rests.
  • Broil for 1โ€“2 minutes at the end if you want crisp edges.
  • Slice first, then store flat to keep shape.
