  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 crispy flatbread (thick yet flexible for best results)

Protein and Sauce

  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1/3 cup BBQ sauce (smoky, sweet, or spicy)

Cheese and Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Optional veggies: sliced bell peppers, corn, jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start with cooked chicken shredded or chopped into bite-sized pieces. Toss chicken gently in your chosen BBQ sauce until evenly coated with smoky, tangy flavor.
  2. Assemble the Flatbread: Place the flatbread on a baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce evenly over the flatbread as the base. Distribute the sauced chicken evenly, then sprinkle with diced red onions and any optional veggies.
  3. Add Cheese and Herbs: Generously cover the toppings with shredded mozzarella cheese to ensure every bite is cheesy. Finish by adding a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley for color and brightness.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake the flatbread pizza in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 8-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden and the edges of the flatbread are crisp.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from oven, slice into portions, and garnish with extra fresh herbs or a drizzle of BBQ sauce if desired. Serve hot for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Choose thick yet flexible flatbread to prevent sogginess and support toppings well.
  • Do not overload toppings to keep the crust crispy.
  • Preheat oven thoroughly to ensure cheese melts properly and flatbread crisps.
  • Use a quality BBQ sauce for the best flavor impact.
  • Allow pizza to rest for 1-2 minutes after baking to set toppings for cleaner slices.
