BBQ Chicken Flatbread is a fast and flavorful meal that’s perfect for lunch, dinner, or even game day snacking. It starts with a crisp flatbread base, topped with smoky BBQ sauce, shredded chicken, red onion, and plenty of melty cheese. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro finishes it off with a burst of freshness.
You’ll love how quick this flatbread comes together—it takes less than 20 minutes from start to finish. It’s a great way to use up leftover chicken, and you can customize it with your favorite toppings like jalapenos or pineapple. It’s got that sweet, smoky, tangy flavor that hits the spot every time.
Helpful Tips
- Use store-bought flatbreads: Naan or any pre-baked flatbread saves time and crisps up nicely in the oven.
- Thin out thick BBQ sauce: If your BBQ sauce is very thick, mix in a splash of water so it spreads easily over the flatbread.
- Broil at the end: A quick broil gives the cheese a bubbly, golden finish.
