Equipment

Ingredients

For the base:

  • 2 flatbreads naan, lavash, pita, or pre-made pizza crust

For the topping:

  • 1½ cups cooked or roasted chicken shredded
  • 4-5 tablespoons BBQ sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 small sweet pepper thinly sliced, optional
  • 1-2 tablespoons cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 390℉. If using a pre-made pizza base, follow the instructions on the package.
  • Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with three tablespoons of BBQ sauce. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soak in the flavor.
  • Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce (about one tablespoon per flatbread) on each flatbread.
  • Evenly distribute the BBQ chicken over the flatbread. Top with shredded cheese. Add the sliced red onion and sweet pepper.
  • Place the flatbreads in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and starts to lightly brown, and the edges of the flatbread become crispy.
  • Remove the flatbread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Flatbread Choices: Use lavash for a thinner, crispier lavash flatbread pizza or naan for a softer bite.
  • Cheese Options: Swap mozzarella with smoked Gouda or pepper jack if you want a hint of spice to make a spicy BBQ chicken flatbread.
  • Vegetarian Option: Replace chicken with roasted vegetables or grilled tofu for a vegetarian version.
