- 2 flatbreads (store-bought or homemade) - 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded - 1/2 cup BBQ sauce - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese - 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced - 1/2 cup corn kernels - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped - 1 tablespoon olive oil - Salt and pepper to taste For this BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza, you need fresh and simple ingredients. Start with two flatbreads. You can use store-bought ones for speed or make your own if you prefer. You will also need one cup of cooked chicken. Shredded chicken works best for this recipe. Next, grab half a cup of your favorite BBQ sauce. This sauce adds a sweet and tangy flavor that pairs well with chicken. You will also need one cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. This cheese melts perfectly and gives that gooey texture we all love. For crunch and flavor, slice half a red onion thinly. You will also need half a cup of corn kernels. Fresh corn is great, but frozen corn works too. Don’t forget a quarter cup of fresh cilantro for a nice touch at the end. Lastly, you should have one tablespoon of olive oil and some salt and pepper to taste. With these ingredients ready, you are set to make a delicious BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza. {{ingredient_image_1}} First, set your oven to 400°F (200°C). This preheating step warms the oven for a great bake. It helps the flatbreads get crispy and the cheese melt perfectly. In a bowl, mix the cooked, shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce. Make sure every piece gets a good coat. This step adds flavor and moisture to your pizza. Next, place the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Brush each one lightly with olive oil. This helps them crisp up nicely. Spread the BBQ chicken mix evenly over each flatbread. Leave a little space around the edges. Now, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Make sure to spread it out well. Add the thinly sliced red onion and corn kernels. A pinch of salt and pepper adds a nice touch. Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Look for the cheese to melt and bubble. The edges of the flatbreads should turn golden brown. When they are ready, take them out and let cool for a minute. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top. Now, slice your BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza and enjoy each bite! Pick a BBQ sauce that matches your taste. Some sauces are sweet, while others are tangy. I love using a sauce with a kick. It adds a nice punch to the pizza. Test different brands until you find your favorite. You can also mix sauces for a unique flavor. Just remember, the sauce is key to your BBQ chicken flatbread pizza. Toppings can change your flatbread pizza game. I like to add fresh ingredients like thinly sliced red onions and corn. They bring crunch and sweetness. You can also try jalapeños for heat or bell peppers for color. Fresh herbs like cilantro add a pop of flavor too. Get creative! Mix and match toppings to suit your mood. Crispiness makes a flatbread pizza even better. Brush olive oil on the flatbreads before baking. This helps them crisp up nicely. Bake at 400°F (200°C) until the edges turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them! You want melted cheese and a crunchy base. If you like extra crunch, you can bake them a bit longer. Enjoy that perfect texture! Pro Tips Use Rotisserie Chicken: For a quicker option, use store-bought rotisserie chicken. It adds great flavor and saves time on cooking. Experiment with BBQ Sauces: Try different BBQ sauces to find your favorite flavor profile, such as sweet, smoky, or spicy. Add Extra Veggies: Feel free to add more toppings like bell peppers, jalapeños, or mushrooms for added flavor and nutrition. Perfect Cheese Melt: For an extra gooey cheese experience, switch half of the mozzarella for provolone or gouda. {{image_2}} You can easily make a vegetarian version of this flatbread pizza. Instead of chicken, use a mix of colorful veggies. Try bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini. Add black beans for protein. Use the same BBQ sauce to keep that great taste. Top it all with mozzarella cheese and bake. You will enjoy a fresh and tasty meal. If you like heat, spice up your BBQ chicken flatbread. Add sliced jalapeños on top of the chicken. You can also mix in some hot sauce with the BBQ sauce. This adds a nice kick. For an even bolder flavor, try a spicy BBQ sauce. This will make your flatbread pizza stand out. While mozzarella is a classic choice, you can switch it up. Use pepper jack cheese for a spicy twist. Feta cheese adds a tangy bite. If you prefer a creamier taste, try goat cheese. Each cheese brings a new flavor to your flatbread. Feel free to mix different cheeses to find your favorite combo. To store your BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza, allow it to cool first. Place leftovers in an airtight container. This keeps the pizza fresh for up to three days in the fridge. If you use foil or plastic wrap, make sure it’s tight. This helps avoid sogginess. When you’re ready to enjoy leftovers, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the flatbread on a baking sheet. Heat for about 10 to 12 minutes. This method keeps the crust crispy. You can also use a microwave, but it may make the crust soft. If you choose the microwave, heat for 1-2 minutes. If you want to freeze your BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza, wrap it well in plastic wrap. Then, place it in a freezer bag. It can last up to two months in the freezer. To reheat, simply bake from frozen at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes. This will bring back its fresh taste and texture. Yes, you can! Try shredded pork or beef. Both have great BBQ flavors. You can also use tofu for a tasty vegetarian option. Each protein adds its own twist to the flatbread. Making flatbreads is simple!
