Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Mixture
  • 1 cup Cooked Shredded Chicken Substitute with rotisserie chicken or plant-based alternatives for a vegetarian option.
  • 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce Select a sauce with balanced sweetness; spicy variants can be used for added heat.
For the Flatbreads
  • 2 pieces Flatbreads Naan is ideal; alternatives like pita or other thin flatbreads work too.
For the Cheesy Toppings
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Can be replaced with a dairy-free alternative for a vegan option.
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese Use any favorite cheese or omit for a lighter version.
For the Fresh Elements
  • 1/4 piece Red Onion Thinly sliced; shallots or green onions can also be used.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro Omit if not a fan; parsley can be a substitute.
For the Finish
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil For brushing to promote browning; any neutral oil can work in its place.
  • Optional Add-ins Red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños to introduce heat.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Pizza stone

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine your shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce, mixing until the chicken is fully coated.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or have your preheated pizza stone at the ready. Brush the flatbreads evenly with olive oil.
  4. Evenly distribute the BBQ chicken mixture across the flatbreads, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese, then add the red onion.
  5. Bake for 10–12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and edges are golden brown.
  6. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the flatbreads. Add any optional toppings and slice to serve.
