Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large whole-grain flatbread or naan
  • 1 cup cooked breaded chicken, chopped
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
  • 1 tsp olive oil or cooking spray
  • optional toppings: crushed red pepper, jalapeños, extra sauce

  • Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or grease with cooking spray.

    2. Chop the cooked breaded chicken into bite-sized pieces and warm briefly to avoid sogginess.

    3. Lay the flatbread on the prepared tray and spread BBQ sauce evenly, leaving a small border.

    4. Top with chopped chicken, sliced onions, diced bell pepper, and shredded cheese.

    5. Brush the flatbread edge with olive oil for a crisp border.

    6. Bake for 8–12 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are golden brown.

    7. Remove from oven, let rest one minute, sprinkle with fresh herbs, slice, and serve warm.

    8. Reheat leftovers in an oven or air fryer at 375°F for 4–5 minutes to restore crispiness.
