Ingredients

  • 4 small flatbread crusts or store-bought Naan bread (I use Toufayan brand)
  • 1 ¼ cups barbecue sauce, divided (such as Sweet Baby Ray's brand)
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (such as the meat from a store-bought rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese or Italian cheese blend
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese or smoked gouda cheese
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh cilantro or fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange the flatbreads on rimmed baking sheets. Spread about ¼ cup of barbecue sauce on each flatbread.
    Barbecue sauce spread on two flatbreads.
  • Toss the chicken with the remaining ¼ cup of barbecue sauce.

  • Spread the chicken evenly on top of each flatbread pizza. Sprinkle the cheeses and red onion over top.

  • Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crisp on the edges. Garnish with green onion, cilantro or parsley just before serving.

Notes

  • You have a variety of options when it comes to a store-bought crust for this flatbread pizza. I like to use Tandoori flatbread, which I find in the deli section of my local grocery store. It's ideal for pizza because it's thick and sturdy (so it doesn't get soggy when you add the toppings), the edges get crisp, but the inside stays soft. You can also use Naan bread or even pita bread.
  • Instead of rotisserie chicken, use grilled barbecue chicken, smoked bbq chicken, or other chicken that you boil or roast at home.
  • You don't need to measure all of the ingredients -- I typically just "eyeball" it. Use more or less of the different ingredients to suit your personal preferences.
  • Scale the recipe to accommodate the size of your family. For instance, if you're cooking for two, cut all of the ingredients in half and prepare just 2 pizzas. Similarly, you can double the ingredients to feed a larger group.
