A fast and flavorful meal featuring tender chicken, savory BBQ sauce, and melty sharp cheddar and mozzarella on a crispy flatbread base. Ideal for using leftovers and store-bought flatbreads for easy preparation.

  • Total Time: 22
  • Yield: 2 flatbreads

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (alcohol-free)
  • 2 flatbreads or naan
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or halal-friendly garlic butter, for brushing
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 pickled jalapeño, sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) with a baking sheet inside.
  2. Combine chicken and BBQ sauce in a bowl, stirring until fully coated.
  3. Remove the hot baking sheet and brush flatbreads with olive oil or butter.
  4. Place flatbreads on the baking sheet to crisp the base.
  5. Sprinkle grated cheddar over each flatbread.
  6. Spoon BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the cheddar.
  7. Top with shredded mozzarella, red onion, and jalapeño slices.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for 8-12 minutes.
  9. Until cheese is bubbly and golden, and flatbread is crispy.
  10. Remove and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • Ensure BBQ sauce is alcohol-free. For extra crispiness, preheat the baking sheet for 15 minutes.
  • Adjust jalapeño seeds for spice level. Use leftover rotisserie or grilled chicken to save time.
  • For a homemade flatbread option, use your favorite recipe and brush with olive oil before baking.
