Do you ever order an appetizer as your main course? I saw this Grilled Chicken Alfredo Flatbread Pizza on the menu at Olive Garden and it looked amazing! It was listed as an appetizer, but I actually ordered it as my main dish. It was the perfect “light” dinner. I decided to come home and recreate this dish myself – it’s easy! With a couple short cuts (use pita breads as the base and use jarred Alfredo sauce), this dish really does come together in a matter of minutes.
Recipe Ingredient Notes
To make our grilled chicken flatbread pizza, you need the following ingredients:
- Flatbreads
- Alfredo sauce
- Mozzarella cheese
- Skinless Boneless Chicken breasts (grilled)
- Red bell pepper
- Roma tomato
- Green onions
Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:
How to Make Grilled Chicken Flatbread Pizza
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Place the flat bread on a large baking sheet.
- Spread the Alfredo sauce on each flatbread, then top with cheese, chicken, roasted peppers, tomatoes, and green onions.
- Place in the oven and cook for 5-7 minutes (or until cheese melts).
Recipe Notes
- I used flatbreads from my grocery store, but sometimes I will use pita breads. Both work perfectly!
- If you don’t feel like grilling chicken, you can buy cooked grilled chicken strips at most grocery stores. It makes this recipe even easier!
- If you have picky eaters, let each person add their own toppings to their liking.
- If desired, you can top these pizzas with some fresh basil – it’s delicious!
- Fresh parmesan cheese also tastes great on these pizzas.
- Before assembling the pizzas, toast your flatbread or pita bread for a crispier crust.
- If you do not care for peppers, tomatoes, or onions, feel free to try these other toppings including: cooked sausage, black olives, pepperoni, mushrooms, bacon, pineapple, ham (or Canadian bacon), or switch out Alfredo sauce for BBQ sauce.
How to Roast a Pepper
For this recipe, I would highly recommend roasting the pepper so that it’s a true copycat recipe. However, these flatbreads will still be delicious even without roasting the pepper. Roasting a pepper is simple:
- Preheat your oven to broil.
- Slice the bell pepper and brush lightly with olive oil.
- Line a large baking sheet with foil and lay your pepper slices in a single layer on the sheet.
- Roast peppers under the broiler until the skin starts to turn dark (about 4-5 minutes – watch carefully so that they do not burn!). Cut into smaller pieces and use as a topping for your pizza.

I order appetizers for my meal frequently. I like this flatbread, I don’t know why I haven’t thought to make it at home! I just recently made Olive Garden’s copycat Zuppa Toscana soup, but I lightened it up a bit. It was sooo good!

Made this tonight for dinner with a copycat Olive Garden salad. It was SO good! My husband was saying this would be a great Summer meal. Something to make on the grill and not heat up the oven. Thanks for a great recipe. Love your blog!
That waiter was crazy. I always order an APPETZER for my meal, no matter where I eat out.
