# Ingredients:

→ Flatbread

01 - 2 large flatbreads or naan
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Topping

03 - 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
04 - 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, plus extra for drizzling
05 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
06 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
07 - 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
08 - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

→ Optional Garnishes

10 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Brush both flatbreads lightly with olive oil and place on the prepared baking sheet.
03 - Toss cooked chicken with 1/2 cup barbecue sauce in a mixing bowl until evenly coated.
04 - Spread a thin layer of barbecue sauce over each flatbread.
05 - Evenly distribute the sauced chicken over each flatbread, then sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
06 - Scatter thin slices of red onion and, if desired, jalapeño and cherry tomatoes over the cheese.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and edges are golden brown.
08 - Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, drizzle with extra barbecue sauce if desired, slice, and serve warm.

# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • Twenty five minutes from start to finish means dinner happens fast on busy nights
  • The flatbread gets perfectly crispy while the cheese gets bubbly and golden
  • Easy to customize with whatever toppings you have on hand
02 -
  • Do not overload the flatbread with toppings or the middle will stay soggy while the edges burn
  • Let the baked flatbreads rest for about 2 minutes before slicing so the cheese sets slightly
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the flatbreads cleanly without dragging the cheese
  • Place the baking sheet on the bottom rack for the crispiest crust
