Ingredients

Base

  • 2 flatbreads (lavash, pita, or pre-made pizza crust)

Topping

  • 200 g cooked or roasted chicken (shredded)
  • 4-5 tbsp your favorite BBQ sauce
  • 100 g shredded mozzarella cheese (or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella)
  • 1 small red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 small sweet pepper (thinly sliced, optional)
  • 1-2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (for garnish)

For Serving (Optional)

  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). If you are using a pre-made pizza base, follow the package instructions for preheating.
  2. Prepare Flatbreads: Arrange the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  3. Marinate Chicken: Toss the shredded cooked chicken with 3 tablespoons of your favorite BBQ sauce and let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors fully.
  4. Apply BBQ Sauce: Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce, about 1 tablespoon per flatbread, evenly over each flatbread surface to enhance the flavor base.
  5. Assemble Toppings: Evenly distribute the BBQ chicken over each flatbread, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese to cover the top.
  6. Add Vegetables: Arrange thin slices of red onion and, if using, sweet pepper on top for crunch and sweetness.
  7. Bake Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads in the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, lightly browned, and the edges are crispy.
  8. Cool and Garnish: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a fresh finish.
  9. Serve: Optionally, serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt and lime wedges to add creaminess and zesty brightness to each bite.

Notes

  • Choose flatbreads like lavash or pita for the best crispiness and texture.
  • You can use leftover roasted chicken or rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Adjust the amount of BBQ sauce according to your taste preference for sweetness and spice.
  • Feel free to customize toppings by adding jalapeños for heat or swapping mozzarella for cheddar cheese.
  • Allow flatbreads to cool slightly before cutting to avoid cheese falling off.
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt adds a nice creamy contrast but can be omitted for a lighter option.
