Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup Hatch green chilies, diced (fresh or canned)

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large flatbreads or naan

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sliced jalapeños (optional, for added heat)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced Hatch green chilies, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Assemble Flatbreads: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay the flatbreads or naan on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each flatbread lightly with olive oil.

      Spread the Mixture: Evenly distribute the chicken mixture over each flatbread, spreading it out to the edges to ensure even melting.

        Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the flatbreads are golden brown.

          Add Extras (Optional): If desired, after removing from the oven, add sliced jalapeños for extra heat.

            Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor. Cut into wedges and serve warm with your favorite salsa or guacamole on the side.
