Main Ingredients
- 4 soft, thin flatbreads
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1/2 cup tangy, smoky BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
- Prep the Chicken and Ingredients: Shred or dice pre-cooked chicken and thinly slice the red onion to prepare for quick assembly of the flatbreads.
- Warm the Flatbreads: Lightly toast the flatbreads in a skillet or oven until edges are slightly crisp, ensuring they are sturdy enough to hold the toppings.
- Assemble the Flatbreads: Spread a generous layer of BBQ sauce evenly over each flatbread, then top with shredded chicken, sliced red onions, and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake Until Melty and Crispy: Place assembled flatbreads under a preheated broiler or in a hot oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese melts, bubbles, and the flatbread edges turn golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro or parsley, slice, and serve warm for the best experience.
Notes
- Toast flatbreads before adding toppings to prevent sogginess and maintain crispiness.
- Use just enough BBQ sauce to coat the flatbread and avoid soggy textures.
- Shred chicken evenly to ensure balanced bites of protein.
- Watch carefully during broiling to prevent burning cheese or flatbread edges.
- Add fresh herbs after baking to maintain vibrant flavor and color.
