Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 large flatbread
BBQ Chicken Topping
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
Cheese and Vegetables
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the flatbread pizza.
- Prepare chicken mixture: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded cooked chicken with the BBQ sauce to evenly coat the chicken with flavorful sauce.
- Assemble pizza: Spread the BBQ-coated chicken mixture evenly over the entire surface of the flatbread, ensuring full coverage for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the BBQ chicken layer to create a melted, gooey texture when baked.
- Add onions: Distribute the thinly sliced red onions evenly over the cheese for a sharp, fresh bite that complements the BBQ flavor.
- Bake: Place the assembled flatbread pizza on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Garnish: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately garnish with freshly chopped cilantro to add a burst of herbaceous freshness.
- Serve: Slice the flatbread pizza into portions and serve hot for the best taste experience.
Notes
- For added smoky flavor, use smoked cheddar cheese or add a dash of smoked paprika to the BBQ sauce.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, bake the flatbread alone for 3-5 minutes before adding toppings.
- This recipe is easily customizable with other toppings like bell peppers or jalapeños.
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time on shredding and cooking.
- For a milder version, omit or reduce the red onions.
