Ingredients

Scale

Base

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

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: Set your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Mix Chicken with BBQ Sauce: In a bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with 3 tablespoons of BBQ sauce. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Prepare Flatbreads: Spread about 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce evenly on each flatbread as a base layer.
  4. Add Chicken Topping: Evenly distribute the BBQ-flavored shredded chicken over each flatbread.
  5. Add Cheese and Vegetables: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken layer, then add thin slices of red onion and sweet pepper if using.
  6. Bake: Place the flatbreads in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and starting to brown slightly and the flatbread edges are crispy.
  7. Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve optionally with sour cream or Greek yogurt and lime wedges for extra freshness.

Notes

  • You can substitute flatbreads with pita or pre-made pizza crust depending on your preference.
  • Feel free to use any type of BBQ sauce to adjust the flavor profile.
  • Optional vegetables like sweet pepper add a nice crunch and sweetness.
  • Leftover chicken works perfectly for this recipe, making it a great way to use cooked poultry.
  • Adding a squeeze of lime or dollop of sour cream adds a refreshing contrast to the rich BBQ flavors.
