Print Recipe

A quick and easy flatbread pizza topped with smoky BBQ chicken, sharp red onions, and melty mozzarella cheese, baked to crispy perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized store-bought flatbreads or naan (6–8 inches diameter)
  • 2 cups (about 300g) shredded cooked BBQ chicken
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it on the middle rack to heat up.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss shredded cooked chicken with BBQ sauce until evenly coated. Set aside.
  3. Thinly slice half a medium red onion. To mellow the sharpness, soak slices in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
  4. Place two flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush the edges with olive oil.
  5. Spread a thin layer (about 2 tablespoons) of BBQ sauce on each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
  6. Evenly distribute the sauced chicken on top of the flatbreads.
  7. Scatter the sliced red onions over the chicken, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly on top.
  8. Bake in the oven or on the pizza stone for 10–12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and flatbread edges are golden brown and crisp.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
  10. Slice into quarters or strips and serve warm.

Notes

Do not overload the flatbread with toppings to avoid sogginess. Brush edges with olive oil for extra crispiness. If flatbread browns too quickly before cheese melts, tent loosely with foil. Soaking red onion slices reduces sharpness. Use pre-shredded cheese for better melting. Leftovers can be reheated in a 375°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
