To start crafting your Smoky BBQ Chicken Flatbread, the first step is to ensure that the BBQ sauce is spread evenly across the flatbread. This step is crucial because it not only infuses the base with flavor but also helps to keep the chicken moist during baking. Using the back of a spoon or a silicone spatula, scoop out a generous amount of your favorite BBQ sauce and apply it uniformly from the center outwards, leaving a small margin around the edges. This margin helps achieve a crispy crust while allowing that smoky flavor to penetrate the chicken and toppings effectively.

Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced (grilled or rotisserie chicken work well)

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup red onions, thinly sliced

1/2 cup bell pepper, thinly sliced (use red, green, or yellow for a pop of color)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional topping)

Olive oil (for brushing)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      Prepare the Chicken:

        In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.

          Prepare the Flatbreads:

            Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil to enhance the flavor and crispiness.

              Assemble the Flatbreads:

                - Spread the remaining BBQ sauce evenly over each flatbread, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.

                  - Distribute the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the sauce.

                    - Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the chicken.

                      - Scatter the sliced red onions and bell peppers on top of the cheese. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

                        Bake:

                          Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the flatbreads are golden brown.

                            Garnish and Serve:

                              Once out of the oven, sprinkle the flatbreads with fresh cilantro if desired. Allow them to cool for a minute, then cut into slices and serve warm.
