Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread Base

  • 2 flatbread crusts (store-bought or homemade)

Sauce & Toppings

  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 cups diced grilled chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 3 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers
  • Thinly sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating to get it hot.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheets: Lightly dust two baking sheets with cornmeal to prevent sticking, then place the flatbread crusts on each.
  3. Spread BBQ Sauce: Evenly divide the BBQ sauce between the two flatbread crusts, spreading it across the surface while leaving a small border around the edges to prevent sogginess.
  4. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle shredded Colby Jack cheese evenly over both flatbreads, followed by distributing the diced grilled chicken and chopped bell peppers uniformly.
  5. Bake Flatbreads: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden, and the edges of the flatbread are crisp and golden brown.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and allow to rest for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with freshly sliced green onions, slice with a pizza cutter or sharp knife, and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and flavor.
  • Do not overload flatbread with toppings to maintain crispness.
  • Feel free to substitute different cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • This recipe packs about 30g of protein per serving, making it ideal for a high protein meal.
