How to make BBQ Chicken Flatbread

Ingredients:

2 flatbreads (lavash, pita, or pre-made pizza crust)
200 g cooked or roasted chicken (shredded)
4-5 tbsp BBQ sauce
100 g shredded mozzarella cheese (or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella)
1 small red onion (thinly sliced)
1 small sweet pepper (thinly sliced, optional)
1-2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (for garnish)
Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
Lime wedges (optional)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). If using a pre-made pizza base, follow the instructions on the package.
Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with 3 tablespoons of BBQ sauce. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soak in the flavor.
Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce (about 1 tablespoon per flatbread) on each flatbread.
Evenly distribute the BBQ chicken over the flatbread.
Top with shredded cheese.
Add the sliced red onion and sweet pepper (if using).
Place the flatbreads in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and starts to lightly brown, and the edges of the flatbread become crispy.
Remove the flatbreads from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
Optionally, serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt and lime wedges.

How to serve BBQ Chicken Flatbread

Serve BBQ Chicken Flatbread hot from the oven. Cut into slices and enjoy as a delicious meal or snack. You can offer some sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side for dipping. Lime wedges add a nice zing that pairs well with the BBQ flavors.

How to store BBQ Chicken Flatbread

You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for about 2-3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven for a few minutes until warm.

Tips to make BBQ Chicken Flatbread

Use rotisserie chicken for added convenience. Just shred it and mix it with BBQ sauce.
Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
For a spicier kick, try adding jalapeños or a spicy BBQ sauce.

Variation

You can also make BBQ Chicken Flatbread with different types of cheese or use different sauces like ranch or garlic sauce for a twist. Try adding pineapple for a sweet and savory version!
