- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded - 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand) - 4 flatbreads (store-bought or homemade) - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese - 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced - 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen) - 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (for garnish) - 1 avocado, sliced (optional) - Olive oil for brushing - Salt and pepper to taste For this BBQ Chicken Flatbread, I use simple and fresh ingredients. First, I take shredded chicken. Leftover rotisserie chicken works well too. I mix it with BBQ sauce to give it a sweet and smoky flavor. Next, I grab flatbreads. You can buy them or make your own from scratch. For toppings, I love gooey mozzarella cheese. It melts perfectly on top. I add sliced red onion for a crisp bite. Corn kernels bring a sweet crunch. Fresh cilantro adds color and a burst of flavor. If you want to be extra fancy, slice up some avocado. In terms of cooking essentials, I use olive oil. Brushing it on the flatbreads adds nice flavor and helps them crisp up. I also season with salt and pepper to taste. This simple list makes the BBQ Chicken Flatbread both tasty and easy to whip up. First, set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Preheating is key for the best flatbreads. In a big bowl, take your shredded chicken. Pour in your favorite BBQ sauce. Mix well until every piece is coated. You can add more sauce if you like it saucy. Lay the flatbreads on a baking sheet. I like to use parchment paper for easy cleanup. Brush a light layer of olive oil on each flatbread. This adds flavor and helps them crisp up. Spread the sauced chicken evenly over the flatbreads. Make sure to cover every inch. Next, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top. Add sliced red onion and corn for extra taste. Now, it’s time to bake. Place the baking sheet in the oven and let it bake for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on it! You want the cheese to melt and bubble. The flatbread edges should turn golden brown. When they are done, take them out of the oven. Garnish with fresh cilantro and avocado slices if you choose. Cut the flatbreads into triangles for easy serving. Enjoy them warm with a side of BBQ sauce for dipping! To enhance your BBQ sauce flavor, start with quality sauce. Choose a sauce that you love. You can add spices to your BBQ sauce. Try garlic powder or smoked paprika for extra depth. Mixing in a bit of honey can balance the tangy flavors. If you want more heat, add chili powder or hot sauce. This adds a kick that pairs well with chicken. For crispy flatbread, brush olive oil on each one. This step helps create a golden brown crust. Use parchment paper to keep them from sticking. Bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they bake. Look for melted cheese and crisp edges. If you want extra crispness, bake a few minutes longer. Flatbreads go well with fresh salad or coleslaw. A light side dish helps balance the rich flavors. For drinks, try iced tea or lemonade. Both pair nicely with BBQ chicken. You can also serve with extra BBQ sauce for dipping. This adds fun to the meal and enhances the flavors. {{image_2}} You can use any cooked chicken you like. Rotisserie chicken works great. It saves time and adds flavor. Simply shred the chicken and mix it with BBQ sauce. Grilled chicken also adds a nice smoky taste. Just make sure to slice it thinly for easy topping. If you want to keep it vegetarian, you can skip the chicken. Try adding grilled veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms instead. For cheese, mozzarella is classic, but you could use gouda or feta for a twist. Both add unique flavors to your flatbread. If you need gluten-free options, look for gluten-free flatbreads. You can also use corn tortillas or cauliflower crusts. Both options work well and taste delicious. Just remember to adjust the baking time to make sure they cook perfectly. To store your BBQ chicken flatbreads, first let them cool. Place them in an airtight container. You can also wrap them in foil or plastic wrap. Store them in the fridge for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them instead. To reheat flatbreads, the oven works best. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Heat them for about 10 minutes. This keeps the crust crispy. You can also use a microwave. Just remember, the crust won’t be as crispy. You can freeze both unbaked and baked flatbreads. For unbaked flatbreads, wrap each one in plastic wrap. Then, place them in a freezer bag. This keeps them fresh for up to three months. For baked flatbreads, let them cool first. Wrap them tightly and freeze. Reheat baked flatbreads straight from the freezer. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time. You can use any BBQ sauce you love. Popular choices include sweet, smoky, or tangy sauces. Brands like Sweet Baby Ray's or Stubb's offer great flavors. If you prefer homemade, mix ketchup, brown sugar, and vinegar for a quick sauce. Experiment with different sauces to find your favorite. Yes, you can! If flatbreads are not available, try pita bread or naan. Both options offer a soft and chewy base. Tortillas are another choice if you want something thinner. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary based on the bread you choose. Watch for these signs: the cheese should be melted and bubbly. The edges of the flatbread should turn golden brown. You can also check for a crispy texture when you gently press the edges. Once you see these signs, your flatbread is ready to enjoy!

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce until well-coated. Adjust the amount of sauce to your preference.

      Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush a thin layer of olive oil on each flatbread for added flavor and crispiness.

          Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the chicken.

            Scatter the sliced red onion and corn over the cheese for added texture and flavor.

              Season with salt and pepper to taste.

                Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the flatbread are golden brown.
