Paleo chicken bacon ranch flatbread. It’s a mouthful but it tastes as amazing as it’s name is lengthy. Flatbreads (grain-free, of course) have been my new favorite thing to play around with. I stayed far away from them for a loooong time, knowing that pizza was maybe one of my biggest food with no breaks (read about that here). Now that I know I usually have a handle on my self-control and willpower, it’s been more fun to mess around with these ideas as opposed to totally terrifying to think of before.
Seriously. Even just the mention of the word pizza would make me super anxious and sweaty (just kidding) and I’d get really worked up about falling “off track”. That’s because my off track moments would snowball into off track weeks. So, yeah. Best to just stay away from pizza if you know that’s a trigger for you. BUT if it’s not…
Try this Paleo chicken bacon ranch flatbread. Right now.
It’s a healthier version to our normal pizza and flatbread routines. It’s grain-free, dairy-free, soy-free, sugar-free and totally guilt-free. Bacon, chicken and ranch is a winning combo, if you ask me. Then throw in the fact that I can feel good about eating it? Don’t have to ask me twice.
As far as the crust goes, I’ve included the recipe to make it yourself. It includes pretty standard and easy to find ingredients, but you can buy prepackaged Paleo pizza crusts which make life easier and save you time. The two that I use and would recommend if you don’t want to make it yourself are Julian Bakery (it’s cheaper per crust on Amazon to buy a two pack) and Simple Mills.
There’s lots of ranch recipes out there to make yourself. But if you don’t have time for that or are lazy (like me) it’s easier to just keep a bottle on hand. I keep, like, 3 extras in my cupboard at all times. I love ranch. No shame. I use Primal Kitchen’s ranch dressing (cheaper here than on Amazon) because frankly, it’s the best Paleo ranch I’ve found. Plus it’s got squeaky clean ingredients. Not only that, but I even like it better than it’s unhealthy ranch cousins like Hidden Valley brand. Which used to be my favorite.. So that’s saying a lot.
Then, add any veggies you’ve got hangin’ out in the fridge or change up the meat if you want to! I just love these toppings with the creamy ranch. It’s perfect for a pizza and movie night or a fun baking day this weekend with the kids!

Hello Bailey!
You had me at the title with this one. Going out and purchasing flatbread in a restaurant can be ridiculously expensive if you are dining out at an expensive place. The picture of the toppings had me nearly drooling! Not to mention, I LOVE how you use almond AND coconut flour. I can imagine how dense and delicious it is! Thank you for sharing this! I can’t wait to try this at home!
