Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread Base

  • 2 flatbread crusts (store-bought or homemade)

Sauce and 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 your oven to 425°F (220°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats to ensure a crispier crust.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheets: Lightly dust two baking sheets with cornmeal to prevent the flatbreads from sticking, then arrange the flatbread crusts on them.
  3. Spread BBQ Sauce: Evenly divide the BBQ sauce between the two flatbreads, spreading it across each surface while leaving a small border around the edges for a neat finish.
  4. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded Colby Jack cheese evenly over the BBQ sauce on both flatbreads, ensuring full coverage but keeping some space near the edges.
  5. Add Chicken and Peppers: Distribute the diced grilled chicken evenly on top of the cheese, then scatter the chopped bell peppers across each flatbread.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes. Bake until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and beginning to turn golden, with the flatbread edges crisp and browned.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and let them rest for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, then slice and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Using a pizza stone helps achieve a crispier crust but is optional.
  • For a spicier version, add sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of chili flakes before baking.
  • Leftover BBQ chicken works perfectly and helps save preparation time.
  • You can substitute Colby Jack cheese with mozzarella or cheddar for a different flavor profile.
  • Bell peppers can be replaced or paired with red onions or mushrooms according to preference.
