# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a medium bowl, combine 1 lb cooked chicken breast, 1/2 cup quality BBQ sauce, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly to coat the chicken for your BBQ Chicken Flatbread: 30g Protein & Quick Prep.
02 -
Brush 1 tbsp olive oil evenly over the four individual flatbreads. This helps achieve a golden, crispy crust. Arrange the flatbreads on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even cooking.
03 -
Evenly distribute the BBQ chicken mixture over each of the oiled flatbreads, spreading it almost to the edges. This forms the flavorful foundation for your delicious BBQ Chicken Flatbread: 30g Protein & Quick Prep.
04 -
Generously sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture on each flatbread. Ensure an even layer for maximum cheesiness.
05 -
Bake the flatbreads in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the flatbread crusts are golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
06 -
Carefully remove the hot BBQ Chicken Flatbread: 30g Protein & Quick Prep from the oven. Garnish immediately with 1/4 red onion, 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, and serve with 1 lime, cut into wedges, for a bright, fresh finish.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra crispy crust, pre-bake your flatbreads for 2-3 minutes before adding any toppings.
02 -
Feel free to use rotisserie chicken for an even quicker prep time, or swap the cheddar for smoked gouda for a deeper, richer flavor.
03 -
Leftover flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer for best results.
04 -
A simple side salad with a light vinaigrette pairs wonderfully with these rich flatbreads, adding a refreshing contrast.
