Scale
Flatbread Pizza
- 1 flatbread
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the pizza.
- Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with the barbecue sauce, mixing thoroughly so every piece is coated with the sauce.
- Assemble Flatbread: Spread the barbecue chicken mixture evenly over the flatbread, making sure to cover the surface without overcrowding.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the chicken layer to ensure even melting.
- Add Onions: Distribute the thinly sliced red onions evenly over the cheese for a sharp, sweet contrast.
- Bake Pizza: Place the flatbread in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the flatbread are crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro before slicing and serving to add a fresh, herbal note.
