Description
At its core, a BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza is a modern twist on the classic Italian pizza. Instead of a thick, doughy crust and a traditional tomato-based marinara, this version utilizes a thin, often unleavened bread base topped with tangy barbecue sauce. The protein of choice is cooked chicken—usually shredded or diced—which acts as a mild, savory sponge for the bold flavors of the sauce.
Ingredients
2 flatbreads or naan
1 cup cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
½ cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for drizzle)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
2–3 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)
1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment if available.
Mix chicken & sauce: In a bowl, toss the cooked chicken with about ¼ cup BBQ sauce.
Prepare flatbread: Place flatbreads on the tray and lightly brush edges with olive oil.
Add toppings:
Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce on each flatbread.
Add the BBQ chicken evenly.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
Add sliced red onions.
Bake for 8–12 minutes, until cheese is melted and edges are crisp.
Finish: Remove from oven, drizzle a little extra BBQ sauce, and sprinkle cilantro if using.
