Ingredients

  • 4 small flatbread crusts or store-bought Naan bread
  • 1 ¼ cups barbecue sauce, divided
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • 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 flatbreads on rimmed baking sheets.
  • Spread about ¼ cup of barbecue sauce on each flatbread. Toss chicken with remaining ¼ cup of barbecue sauce. Spread the chicken evenly on top of each flatbread pizza. Sprinkle cheeses and red onion over top.
  • Bake for 10-12 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 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.
  • Grilled Flatbread Pizza: instead of baking the pizzas, try grilling them. To do so, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grates, place the pizzas on the grill, close the lid, and cook for about 10 minutes.
  • Instead of the store-bought flatbread crust, use regular pizza dough to make a full-size pizza. Store-bought pizza dough or homemade dough will both work well. See these instructions for baking a regular pizza.
  • Instead of rotisserie chicken, use grilled barbecue chicken, smoked bbq chicken, or other chicken that you boil or roast at home.
  • Add crispy bacon or diced pineapple to the pizza before baking.
  • Drizzle with ranch dressing just before serving.
