Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pre-cooked flatbreads (such as naan or pita bread)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly brush one side of each flatbread with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet, oiled side down.
  2. Step 2: Evenly spread 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce over the top (un-oiled) side of each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Step 3: Distribute the cooked chicken evenly over the BBQ sauce on both flatbreads. Then, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and scatter the thinly sliced red onion on top of the chicken.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the flatbread edges are lightly golden and crispy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  5. Step 5: Carefully remove the flatbreads from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, slice into desired portions, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store any cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days; for best results, keep the fresh cilantro separate until serving again.
  • To revive your flatbread's crispness, reheat leftovers in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-8 minutes, or a few minutes in an air fryer, until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is warm.
  • These delightful flatbreads pair wonderfully with a simple, fresh green salad tossed in a light vinaigrette, or offer a side of cooling ranch or blue cheese dressing for an extra dip.
  • For an even more vibrant flavor and to mellow the red onion's bite, thinly slice it and briefly soak in ice water for about 10 minutes before adding to the flatbreads; this subtle step truly enhances the overall taste.
