Ingredients
Scale
- 4 greek pita flatbreads (papa pita brand)
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) barbecue sauce (sweet baby ray’s brand)
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) chopped red onion
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) cilantro
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray two baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Flatbread Layering: Arrange flatbreads on baking sheets, then generously spread BBQ sauce across each surface, creating an even base layer.
- Cheese and Protein: Sprinkle Mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then distribute pre-cooked shredded chicken evenly across the flatbreads, covering with an additional layer of Mozzarella.
- Flavor Enhancement: Scatter thinly sliced red onion rings over the cheese to add a sharp, colorful dimension to the flatbread pizza.
- Baking Process: Place baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, watching for completely melted cheese with a bubbly, golden-brown surface.
- Finishing Touches: Remove from oven and let cool briefly to allow cheese to set, then garnish with fresh chopped cilantro leaves for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Serving: Slice into wedges and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
- Sauce Selection: Choose a high-quality BBQ sauce with robust flavor to enhance the overall taste of the flatbread pizza.
- Cheese Melting Tip: Use freshly shredded Mozzarella for optimal melting and a creamier texture compared to pre-packaged shredded cheese.
- Chicken Preparation: Ensure chicken is thoroughly cooked and shredded finely for even distribution and better bite consistency.
- Crispy Crust Hack: Allow flatbreads to crisp slightly at edges during baking for a perfect textural contrast between crispy and soft elements.
