Ingredients
  

2 large flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cooked, shredded chicken (preferably grilled for smoky flavor)

½ cup your favorite BBQ sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup red onion, thinly sliced

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional for an extra kick)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) so it's hot and ready to crisp up your flatbreads.

    Mix the Chicken with BBQ Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce. Stir until the chicken pieces are fully coated with the sauce. Season to your liking with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

      Prepare the Flatbreads: Lightly brush one side of each flatbread with olive oil. This not only infuses flavor but also helps achieve a deliciously crispy texture.

        Assemble the Flatbreads:

          - Place the oiled side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

            - Evenly spoon the BBQ chicken mixture over each flatbread, ensuring it’s distributed well.

              - Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken for that gooey, melty goodness.

                - Add thin slices of red onion and jalapeño (if using) on top to enhance the flavor profile.

                  Bake to Perfection: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden, and the edges of the flatbreads are beautifully crispy.

                    Garnish and Add Freshness: Once baked, remove the flatbreads from the oven. Immediately sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro to add a vibrant color and taste.

                      Serve and Enjoy: Cut each flatbread into slices suitable for sharing. Serve alongside lime wedges for an extra zesty punch, and dig into your scrumptious BBQ Chicken Flatbread!
