Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 4 soft, pliable flatbreads

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or grilled)
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce (choose a smoky, tangy variety)

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Optional: 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by shredding cooked chicken using two forks. Mix it thoroughly with your favorite barbecue sauce until the chicken is evenly coated in smoky, tangy flavor.
  2. Assemble the Flatbreads: Lay the flatbreads on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the sauced chicken evenly across each flatbread, ensuring not to overload to maintain crispness.
  3. Add Toppings: Sprinkle sliced red onions and a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken. Add jalapeño slices if you prefer a spicy kick.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the flatbreads in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden and crisp.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley. Slice into manageable pieces and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked chicken such as rotisserie to save time without sacrificing flavor.
  • Avoid overloading toppings to prevent soggy flatbreads and maintain crisp edges.
  • Warm flatbreads briefly before adding toppings to preserve crispiness after baking.
  • Choose a quality smoky barbecue sauce with a hint of sweetness for best flavor.
  • Experiment by blending mozzarella with smoked gouda or cheddar cheese for extra depth.
