Description
A quick and easy baked flatbread topped with smoky barbecue chicken, melted cheese, and fresh garnishes, ready in just over 20 minutes.
Ingredients
2 flatbreads or naan (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works best)
½ cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (or parsley)
1 tablespoon olive oil or garlic butter (optional, for brushing base)
pickled jalapeños, plant-based protein crumble, crispy fried onions (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with ½ cup BBQ sauce until coated.
- Place flatbreads on a baking sheet. Optionally brush with olive oil or garlic butter.
- Sprinkle half the cheese blend on each flatbread. Top with saucy chicken, then remaining cheese.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and edges are crisp.
- Remove from oven, garnish with red onion, cilantro, and optional toppings. Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce, slice, and serve.
Notes
- For a crispier base, pre-bake plain flatbread for 3-4 minutes before adding toppings.
- Leftovers reheat best in a toaster oven or air fryer.
- Feel free to customize with pineapple, buffalo sauce, or extra veggies.
