Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
Cheese:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Base and Toppings:
- 2 pieces flatbread
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Crank your oven to 425°F and position the rack in the center. Place two flatbreads on a clean baking sheet.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil across the flatbreads, using your fingers or a pastry brush to spread it evenly.
- Pour ½ cup BBQ sauce over each flatbread, smoothing it to cover the entire surface with a light layer.
- Scatter ½ cup shredded chicken over each flatbread, distributing it carefully to ensure consistent coverage.
- Sprinkle ½ cup mozzarella cheese across each flatbread, allowing it to nestle between the chicken pieces.
- Distribute 2 tablespoons thinly sliced red onion over the cheese, creating delicate rings across the surface.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 425°F oven and bake for exactly 8-10 minutes until the cheese melts and edges turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and immediately garnish with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro across each flatbread.
- Slice each flatbread into four triangular pieces and serve hot directly from the baking sheet.
Notes
- Always use a light hand when brushing olive oil to prevent soggy flatbreads and ensure a crisp base.
- Shred rotisserie chicken for a faster and more flavorful protein option that saves serious cooking time.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like adding sharp cheddar or pepper jack for extra flavor complexity.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flatbreads with cauliflower or gluten-free pizza crusts that crisp up nicely.
