Description

This BBQ Chicken Flatbread recipe combines the smoky tang of BBQ sauce with melty mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, topped with shredded chicken and red onions for a quick, delicious meal. Perfect for a casual dinner or a fun appetizer, this flatbread is easy to prepare and bakes up with a crispy crust and gooey cheese in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread Base

  • 2 8-inch flatbreads (such as naan)

Sauces and Cheese

  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce, plus extra for drizzling
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Toppings

  • ¾ cup shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for crisping your flatbread and melting the cheese evenly.
  2. Prepare Flatbreads: Place the 8-inch flatbreads on a baking sheet. Evenly spread about 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce over each flatbread, creating a flavorful base layer.
  3. Add Cheese: Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly on top of the BBQ sauce on each flatbread to create a rich and creamy layer.
  4. Layer Toppings: Evenly distribute the shredded chicken over the cheese layers, then add the thinly sliced red onions for a sharp, slightly sweet contrast. Drizzle a little more BBQ sauce over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
  5. Bake Flatbreads: Place the baking sheet in the oven’s middle rack and bake for 10-12 minutes. Bake until the cheese melts fully and the edges of the flatbread become golden and crispy.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro. Slice each flatbread into 3-4 pieces and serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

  • Using naan or other sturdy flatbreads works best as they crisp up nicely without becoming soggy.
  • Rotisserie chicken saves time but you can use any cooked shredded chicken.
  • Adjust the amount of BBQ sauce to suit your taste preferences for sweetness or smokiness.
  • For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of chili flakes.
  • Flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven to keep the crust crispy and the cheese melted.
