Flatbread Pizza Ingredients
- 2 pieces flatbread
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the flatbreads.
- Mix chicken and BBQ sauce: In a bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded cooked chicken with the BBQ sauce until the chicken is well coated.
- Prepare flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet and brush each with olive oil to enhance flavor and crispness.
- Assemble the pizza: Evenly spread the BBQ chicken mixture over the oiled flatbreads.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken, then top with thinly sliced red onions for a fresh bite.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and slightly golden.
- Finish and serve: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and generously sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute cooked chicken with rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- For a spicier kick, add jalapeño slices or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before baking.
- Feel free to use any BBQ sauce flavor you prefer—sweet, smoky, or spicy.
- If you desire a crispier flatbread, bake a little longer but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
