Ingredients

Scale
  • Flatbread Crusts:
    • 4 small flatbread crusts or store-bought Naan bread (such as Toufayan brand)
  • BBQ Chicken Topping:
    • 1 ¼ cups barbecue sauce, divided (such as Sweet Baby Ray’s)
    • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (e.g., from a rotisserie chicken)
  • Cheese and Toppings:
    • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese or Italian cheese blend
    • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese or smoked gouda cheese
    • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
    • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
    • Optional: chopped fresh cilantro or fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the flatbreads on rimmed baking sheets.
  • Prepare Flatbreads: Spread about ¼ cup of barbecue sauce evenly on each flatbread.
  • Prepare Chicken: Toss the shredded chicken with the remaining ¼ cup of barbecue sauce until well coated.
  • Assemble Pizzas: Spread the BBQ chicken evenly over the sauced flatbreads. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top. Add the thinly sliced red onion.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crisp around the edges.
  • Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with sliced green onion and optional chopped fresh cilantro or parsley. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Flatbread Options: Use Tandoori flatbread for a thicker crust that holds up well with toppings. Naan or pita bread are also great alternatives.
  • Chicken Variations: You can use grilled barbecue chicken, smoked BBQ chicken, or any cooked chicken you prefer.
  • Customization: Adjust the amount of ingredients to suit your taste preferences. Feel free to add more or less cheese, onions, or BBQ sauce as desired.
  • Scaling: Adjust the recipe based on the number of servings needed. Halve the ingredients for a smaller batch or double them for a larger group.
