Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 flatbreads or naan breads
Chicken and Sauce
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite variety)
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Optional: 1-2 jalapeños, thinly sliced for heat
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start with cooked chicken breast that is shredded or diced. Toss the chicken in a generous amount of barbecue sauce until well coated, ensuring smoky and tangy flavor in every bite.
- Assemble the Flatbreads: Lay each flatbread flat on a baking sheet. Spread the sauced chicken evenly across each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle thinly sliced red onions over the chicken for a fresh crunch.
- Add Cheese and Bake: Generously top the flatbreads with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 8-12 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, golden, and the flatbread edges turn crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: After baking, sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro on top and add optional jalapeño slices if desired. Slice into pieces and serve warm for the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- Use warm flatbreads before assembling to prevent sogginess from the sauce.
- Pat chicken dry before tossing in barbecue sauce to retain texture.
- Don’t overload toppings to ensure even baking and crispy edges.
- Broil the flatbreads carefully for the last minute if you want extra crisp cheese topping.
- Using homemade or high-quality barbecue sauce enhances the flavor depth.
