Ingredients
Here’s everything you need to create this flavorful flatbread. Feel free to get creative with substitutions!
- 2 large flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
If you’re feeling adventurous, swap the chicken for pulled pork or add some jalapeños for a spicy kick. The goal is to make it yours, just like I learned to do from my Abuela, who taught me that recipes are guidelines, not rules.
Instructions
Ready to make some magic in the kitchen? Follow these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help your flatbread achieve that perfect crispy base.
- In a medium-sized bowl, toss the shredded chicken with 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Place the flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each one lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper for added flavor.
- Spread the BBQ chicken evenly over the flatbreads, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and red onion slices.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. I love how the aroma fills the kitchen, taking me back to those family dinners where we’d eagerly await the first bite.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro and an extra drizzle of BBQ sauce before serving.
And there you have it — a delicious meal that’s as easy as it is satisfying, with a touch of homemade love in every bite.
