Main Ingredients

  • 1 piece flatbread Choose your preferred type.
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded Leftover or rotisserie chicken works great.
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce Use your favorite BBQ sauce.
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded Can substitute with a dairy-free cheese.
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped For garnish.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For brushing the flatbread.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by gathering all of your ingredients. Ensure your cooked chicken is shredded and ready to mix with BBQ sauce. Thinly slice the red onion and chop the cilantro while your oven preheats.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is perfect for crisping up the flatbread while melting the cheese to gooey perfection.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated to maximize flavor throughout the dish.
  • Take your flatbread and brush one side lightly with olive oil. This not only enhances flavor but helps achieve a nice, crispy texture.
  • Spread the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the oiled side of the flatbread. Don’t skimp on the chicken; every bite should be packed with flavor.
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the chicken.
  • Distribute the thinly sliced red onion evenly over the cheese layer.
  • Place the flatbread on a baking sheet and pop it into the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
  • Once done, remove the flatbread pizza from the oven. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for that fresh, aromatic finish before slicing it into pieces.
