Ingredients

Base

  • 2 flatbreads (lavash, pita, or pre-made pizza crust)

Toppings

  • 200 g cooked or roasted chicken, shredded
  • 4-5 tbsp your favorite BBQ sauce
  • 100 g shredded mozzarella cheese (or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 small sweet pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1-2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

For serving (optional)

  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). If using a pre-made pizza base, refer to its package instructions for any specific guidance.
  2. Prepare Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  3. Mix Chicken with BBQ Sauce: In a bowl, toss the shredded cooked chicken with 3 tablespoons of BBQ sauce. Let it sit for 5 minutes so the chicken can absorb the flavors well.
  4. Apply BBQ Sauce on Base: Spread about 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce evenly over each flatbread, creating a flavorful base layer.
  5. Add Chicken Topping: Distribute the BBQ chicken mixture evenly on top of each sauced flatbread.
  6. Add Cheese and Vegetables: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the chicken, then add sliced red onion and sweet pepper if using for added crunch and flavor.
  7. Bake: Place the prepared flatbreads in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, slightly browned, and the flatbread edges become crispy.
  8. Cool and Garnish: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes to set the toppings. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley to add a fresh herbaceous note.
  9. Serve (Optional): Serve the BBQ chicken flatbreads with dollops of sour cream or Greek yogurt and lime wedges on the side for an extra tangy contrast.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked or leftover roasted chicken to save time; rotisserie chicken works well.
  • You can substitute flatbreads with pita or naan for different textures.
  • Adjust the amount of BBQ sauce to taste depending on your preferred level of smokiness and sweetness.
  • Adding sweet pepper is optional but adds nice color and crunch.
  • For extra heat, sprinkle some chili flakes or jalapeño slices before baking.
  • Flatbreads are best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven for crispiness.
