Avocado And Chicken Flatbread With Bacon, Tomatoes, And Feta Cheese And Cilantro Crema Drizzle

AVOCADO AND CHICKEN FLATBREAD WITH BACON, TOMATOES AND FETA CHEESE AND CILANTRO CREMA DRIZZLE

Ingredients:
Cilantro Crema:
8 oz. crema agria or sour cream 
1 cup cilantro leaves
12 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Flatbread:
1 pkg. prepared pizza dough
2 T. olive oil
1 1/2 cups cooked chopped chicken
6 slices thick bacon, chopped, cooked and drained 
1 cup diced seeded plum tomatoes
2 avocados, rinsed and diced
1 1/2 cups crumbed Cotija cheese
2 T. chopped cilantro for garnish

Serves 6 to 8.

1. For Crema, combine crema or sour cream, cilantro, salt and pepper in food processor and puree. Set aside.
2. For flatbread, stretch out the pizza dough onto a silpat-lined baking sheet until it begins to shrink. Let dough rest 15 minutes. Stretch dough again until it forms a rectangle that is 10 by 15 inches. If necessary, let dough rest another 15 minutes and stretch it again.
3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Drizzle dough with olive oil and sprinkle with chicken, bacon, tomatoes and avocado leaving 1 inch clear around the edges to form a nice edge. Sprinkle the cheese over all and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until dough is nicely browned. Remove flatbread to a cutting board and sprinkle with cilantro. Cut down the center lengthwise and then again across into 6 to 8 pieces.
