Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 2 flatbreads or naan
- Olive oil for brushing
- Salt and pepper to taste
Chicken Topping
- 1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Additional Toppings
- 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on the lined baking sheet and lightly brush each with olive oil to enhance crispiness and flavor. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Toss Chicken with BBQ Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken with 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, mixing thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Assemble Flatbreads: Evenly distribute the barbecue chicken mixture over the prepared flatbreads. Then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses on top. Add thinly sliced red onion evenly across each flatbread.
- Bake: Place the flatbreads in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and the edges of the flatbread turn golden and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the flatbreads from the oven. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and an extra drizzle of barbecue sauce if desired. Slice into pieces and serve warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- Use store-bought flatbread, naan, or pita bread based on availability and preference.
- For an extra kick of heat, add red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños before baking.
- Try swapping mozzarella and cheddar with smoked gouda or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
