Ingredients
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup smoky BBQ sauce
Flatbread Base
- 4 flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with the smoky BBQ sauce, mixing thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly.
- Prepare Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Brush each flatbread lightly with olive oil to help crisp the base during baking.
- Assemble Flatbreads: Spoon the BBQ chicken mixture evenly onto each flatbread. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top to cover the chicken.
- Add Fresh Toppings: Distribute the thinly sliced red onion and chopped cilantro over the cheese layer. Season lightly with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, and the flatbreads are crisp.
- Serve: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice into wedges and serve warm for the best experience.
Notes
- Leftover cooked chicken is perfect for this recipe, making it an excellent way to repurpose leftovers.
- Feel free to customize the toppings by adding items like jalapeños, bell peppers, or additional herbs according to your taste preferences.
