Ingredients

Scale

For the Base:

  • 2 flatbreads (lavash, pita, or pre-made pizza crust)

For the Topping:

  • 200 g cooked or roasted chicken (shredded)
  • 4–5 tbsp your favorite BBQ sauce
  • 100 g shredded mozzarella cheese (or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella)
  • 1 small red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 small sweet pepper (thinly sliced, optional)
  • 1–2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (for garnish)

For Serving (Optional):

  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). If you are using a pre-made pizza base, refer to its package instructions. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place the flatbreads on it.
  2. Prepare Chicken: In a bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with 3 tablespoons of BBQ sauce. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes so the flavors meld.
  3. Apply BBQ Sauce: Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce—about 1 tablespoon—over each flatbread evenly to enhance the base flavor.
  4. Add Toppings: Distribute the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over each flatbread. Then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  5. Layer Vegetables: Top the flatbreads with thin slices of red onion and sweet pepper if using, adding freshness and crunch.
  6. Bake: Place the prepared flatbreads in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese melts fully, begins to brown lightly, and the edges of the flatbread turn crispy.
  7. Cool and Garnish: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro or parsley over the warm flatbreads.
  8. Serve: Optionally, serve with a side of sour cream or Greek yogurt and lime wedges to add a creamy tang and citrus brightness to each slice.

Notes

  • Use cooked or leftover chicken to speed up preparation.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with a cheese blend like cheddar and mozzarella for extra flavor.
  • The sweet pepper is optional but adds nice color and sweetness.
  • For crispier flatbread, bake on a pizza stone or preheated baking tray if available.
  • Adjust BBQ sauce quantity to taste; some like it saucier, others lighter.
