Ingredients

  • 2 flatbread crusts
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 and 1/2 cups diced grilled chicken
  • 1 small bell pepper any color, diced
  • 1/4 cup sweet onion thinly-sliced
  • sliced green onions and red pepper flakes optional garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Set flatbreads on a large rimmed baking sheet.
    2 flatbread crusts
  • Spoon and swirl BBQ sauce over each flatbread. Only use as much as you need to get a thin, even layer, and reserve at least 1-2 Tablespoons to drizzle on top after baking.
    1 cup BBQ sauce
  • Sprinkle the cheese over the BBQ sauce, then sprinkle the diced chicken, bell pepper, and sliced sweet onion on top, as well.
    2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 and 1/2 cups diced grilled chicken, 1 small bell pepper, 1/4 cup sweet onion
  • Transfer to the oven and bake for 9-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling in spots, and the exposed flatbread edges are brown and crisp.
  • Remove flatbreads from the oven. Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce and sprinkle with green onions and/or red pepper flakes, if desired. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

    • This recipe makes 2 BBQ chicken flatbreads, but is super easy to scale up for a crowd or down for a simple lunch for one.
    • Store extra by stacking pieces so that two sides with toppings are facing each other, and the plain crusts face out. Slide the stacks into large zip-top storage containers, seal tightly, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
    • To reheat, use the oven or toaster oven to get the crust nice and crisp again. I use my Breville, and warming pre-cooked flatbreads takes about 5 minutes on 325 degrees F at super convection (the air fryer setting). Your standard oven will accomplish the exact same thing. For maximum re-crisping, place flatbread slices directly on the rack when warming, not on a baking sheet.
