  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Flatbread Base

  • 2 store bought flatbreads

Chicken

  • 1/2 lb chicken breasts, diced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1-2 tbsp BBQ sauce (for tossing cooked chicken)
  • Olive oil, for cooking

Sauces

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce (or use 1 cup BBQ sauce instead)

Toppings

  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season the diced chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook for about 5 minutes until fully cooked through, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and toss the chicken in 1 to 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce to coat evenly. Set aside.
  2. Assemble the flatbread: Mix the BBQ sauce and pizza sauce together in a bowl. Spread this sauce mixture evenly over the flatbreads, creating a flavorful base layer. Evenly distribute the shredded cheddar cheese, BBQ-coated chicken, red pepper slices, red onion slices, and corn over the sauced flatbreads.
  3. Bake to perfection: Place the assembled flatbreads on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the flatbread crust has turned crispy and golden.
  4. Garnish and serve: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro over the top for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Cut into pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious BBQ chicken flatbread!

Notes

  • Use store-bought flatbreads for a quick and easy crust; naan or pita bread can also work well.
  • For a saucier option, replace the pizza sauce with an extra 1/2 cup BBQ sauce.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier texture.
  • Adjust the vegetable toppings based on your preference; other good options include jalapeños or green onions.
  • Ensure the skillet is hot enough before adding chicken to get a good sear and flavor.
