Ingredients
- 2 large flatbreads or naan breads

- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Substitutions

- Use a gluten-free flatbread or pizza crust and follow its package baking instructions.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat oven
Preheat oven to 425°F and place flatbreads on a baking sheet.
Step 2: Add sauce
Brush flatbreads lightly with olive oil, then spread barbecue sauce over the top.

Step 3: Add toppings

Step 4: Bake
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until cheese melts and edges are crisp.

Step 5: Garnish

Why This Version Is the Quick Shortcut
This is the streamlined version for already-cooked shredded chicken. It uses a simple barbecue-sauce, mozzarella, cheddar, and red-onion topping and skips the skillet-cooking, corn, and ranch steps used in the more elaborate flatbread pizza.
How to Store Leftovers
Let BBQ Chicken Flatbread cool before covering, then refrigerate the slices within 2 hours and use them within 3 to 4 days. Store any fresh herbs or cold garnishes separately so they can be added after reheating.
How to Reheat
Reheat BBQ Chicken Flatbread in a 350°F oven or air fryer until the base is crisp and the cheese is hot.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using too much sauce or too many wet toppings.
- Baking on a surface that was not fully preheated.
- Adding fresh herbs before the high heat.
