This flatbread turns a few pantry staples into a quick weeknight dinner, with chicken tossed in mild BBQ sauce and baked atop a crisp, oven-ready crust. Melted mozzarella and red onion add richness and bite, while a scatter of fresh cilantro brightens each slice. It works equally well as a casual dinner or cut into small squares for a party appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 2/3 cup mild BBQ sauce
  • 2 flatbread crusts (naan or thin pizza crust)
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a medium bowl, toss the shredded chicken with the mild BBQ sauce, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

  3. Arrange the flatbread crusts on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with olive oil.

  4. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella evenly over the flatbreads, then top with the BBQ chicken mixture.

  5. Scatter the sliced red onion over the chicken, then top with the remaining mozzarella.

  6. Bake on the center rack until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the edges of the flatbread are golden and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes.

  7. Remove from the oven and let rest 2 minutes, then scatter with fresh cilantro before slicing and serving.
