A quick and easy homemade flatbread pizza featuring crispy edges, tangy BBQ chicken, and gooey melted cheese, perfect for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large store-bought flatbreads (preferably thin and crispy)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (sweet and smoky flavor preferred)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (freshly shredded)
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • A handful of fresh cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing flatbread edges)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (to sprinkle on flatbread base)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken with 1/2 cup BBQ sauce until evenly coated. Set aside.
  3. Place flatbreads on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush edges lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder over the flatbread centers.
  4. Spread the BBQ-coated chicken evenly across the flatbreads, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella evenly over the chicken, then add 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar on top.
  6. Scatter 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onions across the pizzas.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until cheese is bubbling and golden, and edges are crisp and slightly browned.
  8. Remove from oven and sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top if desired.
  9. Slice into wedges and serve hot.

Notes

If flatbread isn’t crisping enough, broil for 2-3 minutes watching closely to avoid burning. Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting. Avoid overloading toppings to keep crust crispy. Reheat leftovers in oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
