Ingredients
  

1 large flatbread or naan

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (recommended: rotisserie or grilled chicken)

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite brand)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup pickled jalapeños (optional, for added spiciness)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (232°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.

    Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce. Mix thoroughly to ensure every piece of chicken is evenly coated in the sauce. Set the mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.

      Prepare the Flatbread: On a baking sheet or pizza peel (if utilizing a pizza stone), drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the flatbread. Use a brush or your fingers to spread the oil evenly across the surface to create a crisp, flavorful base.

        Assemble the Pizza:

          - First, spread the remaining 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce generously over the oiled flatbread, creating a sumptuous base for the pizza.

            - Next, evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the BBQ sauce, ensuring it covers the sauce thoroughly.

              - Gently place the BBQ chicken mixture over the cheese, distributing it evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.

                - Finally, scatter the thinly sliced red onions and pickled jalapeños (if you’re using them) on the pizza for added texture and heat.

                  Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the assembled flatbread pizza to the oven. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully bubbly and turns a rich golden brown.

                    Add Fresh Flavors: Once baked to perfection, remove the pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the hot surface, adding a burst of freshness.

                      Slice and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool for about a minute before slicing it into wedges. Serve hot, and revel in the delicious smoky BBQ chicken flatbread pizza experience!
