Exact Ingredients List
Here’s what you’ll need to make this quick and tasty BBQ chicken flatbread:
• 1 lavash flatbread (whole wheat if possible)
• 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup cooked, shredded chicken
• 1 tablespoon thinly sliced red onion
The recipe uses simple ingredients you might already have on hand. Feel free to adjust amounts to your liking.
For the flatbread base, lavash works great. But you can swap in naan, pita, or another thin flatbread if needed.
Pick your favorite BBQ sauce – sweet, spicy, or smoky all work well. Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time. Shred it yourself or buy it pre-shredded.
Fresh mozzarella is yummy, but pre-shredded works too. Slice the red onion super thin so it cooks quickly in the oven.
With these basic ingredients, you’ll have a delicious flatbread ready in just 10 minutes!
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F. This high heat will give your flatbread a crispy crust.
Place the lavash flatbread on a baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of barbecue sauce over it, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Add the cooked chicken pieces on top.
Thinly slice some red onion and scatter it over the chicken. Don’t use too much – a little goes a long way!
Pop the baking sheet in the oven for about 7 minutes. Keep an eye on it – you want the cheese to melt and the edges to turn golden brown.
Once it’s done, take it out and let it cool for a minute. Use a pizza cutter to slice it into pieces.
Your quick and tasty BBQ chicken flatbread is ready to enjoy! It’s perfect for a fast dinner or a fun appetizer when friends come over.
