Today I’m sharing a delicious mashup of Nashville fried chicken and flatbreads: Traeger Nashville Hot Chicken Flatbreads!
These come together quickly by using a few smart shortcuts.
I use precooked naan bread and frozen popcorn chicken for speed without sacrificing flavor.
How to make Traeger Nashville Hot Chicken Flatbreads
Start by cooking the frozen popcorn chicken according to the package directions. I recommend the oven or an air fryer to get the chicken nice and crispy.
While the chicken cooks, make the Nashville hot butter: melt 6 tablespoons of butter and stir in dry Nashville hot seasoning, a tablespoon of honey, kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper.
Allow the seasoning to dissolve into the butter for a few minutes, then taste and adjust the heat. Start with a little seasoning and add more to suit your spice preference.
To assemble the flatbreads, brush some of the hot honey butter over each naan. Cut any large pieces of cooked popcorn chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss them with the remaining butter so they’re evenly coated.
Top each flatbread with the coated popcorn chicken, then pile on shredded mozzarella and an extra sprinkle of Nashville hot seasoning for added kick.
Preheat your pellet grill to 375°F (190°C). Place the flatbreads on the grill grate and cook for 12–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden.
Add pickle chips during the last minute or two of cooking so they warm slightly without losing their crunch.
Traeger Nashville Hot Chicken Flatbreads are one of my favorite pellet grill recipes
They make a satisfying dinner, and if you cut them into smaller pieces they’re an exciting and flavorful appetizer for parties or game day.
