Description

A quick and delicious BBQ Chicken Flatbread recipe featuring tender shredded chicken tossed in tangy BBQ sauce, layered on crispy flatbreads with melted cheddar cheese. Perfect for an easy weeknight meal or a flavorful appetizer with minimal ingredients and effort.

Ingredients

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 heaping cups precooked shredded chicken breast
  • ¾ cup BBQ sauce (divided into ½ cup and ¼ cup)

Flatbread Base

  • 2 large flatbreads (about 134 grams each)

Topping

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (1 cup per flatbread)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for a crispy flatbread crust and melted cheese.
  2. Mix Chicken and BBQ Sauce: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, toss the precooked shredded chicken with ½ cup of BBQ sauce until the chicken is well coated. Set aside the remaining ¼ cup of BBQ sauce for spreading.
  3. Prepare Flatbreads: Evenly spread the reserved ¼ cup BBQ sauce over both flatbreads, ensuring the sauce goes right to the edges for full flavor coverage.
  4. Add Chicken Layer: Distribute the BBQ-coated shredded chicken evenly over each flatbread, creating a generous layer of flavorful chicken.
  5. Sprinkle Cheese: Top each flatbread with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly to cover the chicken layer.
  6. Bake: Place the flatbreads directly on the oven racks for a crispier bottom crust, or use a baking sheet if preferred. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes until the flatbreads are crispy and the cheese has melted completely.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the cheese to set slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Using precooked shredded chicken speeds up the preparation and reduces cooking time.
  • For extra crispness, baking directly on the oven rack is recommended.
  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or a blend for a different flavor.
  • Leftover BBQ sauce can be served as a dipping sauce.
  • Flatbreads of approximately 134 grams each are ideal for portion size and crispiness.
